Dead spots in Wells are often caused by soil compaction, salt spray, or drought stress. The most effective approach starts with core aeration to relieve compaction and improve water penetration, followed by overseeding with hardy grass blends suited to our coastal climate. Proper watering and a soil test can also guide targeted fertilization to address nutrient deficiencies common in our local soil.

Soil compaction is a frequent issue in our area, especially in high-traffic zones. To prevent it, we recommend annual core aeration, which pulls small plugs of soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. Also, avoid heavy machinery on wet lawns, use stepping stones for pathways, and consider adding organic matter like compost to improve soil structure over time.

Wells lawns face summer stress from heat, drought, and sandy soil. A successful regimen includes deep, infrequent watering in the early morning, mowing at a higher setting (3+ inches) to shade roots, and applying a slow-release fertilizer in late spring. An annual aeration and overseeding in the fall is crucial for repairing damage and building a resilient turf that can handle our local conditions.
