Core Aeration

Here we are performing a core aeration job. You can see here how many plugs we pull. Our aeration equipment pulls more plugs per square foot meaning it relieves more compaction.

Overseeding

This picture was taken right before we overseeded it. As you can see the lawn has thinned considerably in many spots.

Overseeding

Here is a picture of a yard we overseeded. This picture was taken about 7 days after overseeding. You can see the new grass starting to grow in many places. You can also see the area in the bottom right has very little growth because the sprinkler system was not hitting that area correctly. We worked with the homeowner to correct that and that area filled in quite nicely.

Here is another view of our seed growth about 1 week after we overseeded.

Dethatching

Here we are cleaning up the thatch with a lawn vacuum after we power-raked it.

Thatch cleanup

Dethatching

You can see here that even on this well-maintained yard thatch buildup can be significant.

Power-rake dethatching can help remove all the dead thatch material that is chocking your yard.

Overseeding Prep

Here we are performing our overseeding work. We use verti-cutters at this stage to ensure that the seed is planted at the correct depth.

Overseeding

We always make two intersecting passes when overseeding to ensure the best coverage and the most natural looking results.

Professional equipment

We use professional equipment specifically designed to give the best results.

Overseeding Prep

Preparing your yard for overseeding is a critical step. It is best to cut the existing grass as short as possible to remove thatch and debris.

Shady areas

This yard always struggled because is was very shady. We worked with the homeowner to find a seed blend that would perform well in these conditions, and the lawn is looking beautiful now.

Overseeding

Here we are overseeding around the existing landscaping.

Renovation prep

Again, the preparation is vital to success when renovating your lawn. By cutting the grass short first you ensure that there is less thatch to block nutrients from watering and sunlight to reach the soil. Also, we recommend not mowing for roughly 4 weeks. So by mowing short you help keep your yard under control while it grows.

Here we just finished an overseeding job for a long-time customer.

Core Aertion

This is a close up view of our core aeration. These small plugs of soil are left on the surface where they will break down over time and slowly release nutrients back into the yard.

Planting Depth

Our machines are calibrated to plant your new seed at the optimum depth and ensure the best seed-to-soil contact that is critical to successfully growing new grass.

This yard has just been prepped and aerated prior to overseeding.

Overseeding Prep

There is a lot of work that goes into preparing your yard for overseeding. We don't just show up with a verti-cutter then leave your yard with clumps of thatch laying everywhere like some of our competitors. We will help you with every step including the initial low-mowing, overseeding and cleanup.

Overseeding Results

This yard was overseeded about 3 weeks prior to this picture being taken. The grass is starting to grow tall and will need its first cut soon.
