Landscapers Grand Forks ND | Call AC Landscaping

Dead patches here are often caused by a combination of factors like heavy clay soil compaction, winter salt damage, or disease. Our lawn care service tackles this by first diagnosing the cause, then using core aeration to improve soil health and overseeding with durable grass blends that thrive in our local climate to restore a thick, green lawn.

Yes, aeration is a core part of our service for Grand Forks lawns. Our heavy clay soil becomes compacted over time, preventing water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. We use professional core aerators to pull out small plugs of soil, relieving compaction and creating channels for essentials to penetrate, which is crucial for root health and overcoming dead areas.

The best time to start is in early spring as the ground thaws. This allows us to assess winter damage, begin aeration before the peak growing season, and apply pre-emergent and initial fertilization. A consistent care schedule from spring through fall is key to building a lawn strong enough to resist compaction and patchiness common in our region.
