Coastline Greenscapers: Experienced Landscaping Serving Portsmouth, NH 03801

Compacted soil is a common issue here, preventing water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. Our core aeration service pulls small plugs of soil from your lawn, creating channels that alleviate compaction. This allows your lawn to breathe, promotes deeper root growth, and makes fertilizer and water more effective, leading to a thicker, healthier turf.

For patchy areas, we recommend overseeding with a premium, cool-season grass blend suited for our climate. We'll first prepare the soil in the bare spots, then evenly spread the seed to ensure good contact. Proper watering after the service is key. This approach fills in thin areas, improves lawn density, and introduces more durable grass varieties to withstand local conditions.

For best results addressing both compaction and patchiness, we typically perform core aeration first. The holes created by aeration provide the perfect seedbed for new grass seed during overseeding. The seed falls into these holes, is protected from birds and washout, and has direct soil contact for optimal germination. This one-two punch is the most effective strategy for total lawn renewal.
