Crites Landscaping - Parkersburg's Trusted Landscaping

Dead patches are often caused by soil compaction, pet spots, or disease. For a lasting fix, we first diagnose the root cause. Our typical solution involves removing the dead grass, loosening the compacted soil, adding fresh topsoil and starter fertilizer, and then reseeding with a grass blend suited to our local climate. Proper watering is key, and we can provide a simple care schedule to ensure the new grass establishes well.

Thin, patchy grass in our area frequently points to underlying soil issues like poor pH balance or lack of nutrients, which regular mowing won't fix. We recommend a professional soil test to check nutrient levels. Based on the results, a tailored fertilization plan and core aeration can work wonders. Aeration relieves soil compaction, allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots, promoting thicker, healthier growth from the ground up.

Absolutely. The goal is to build a resilient lawn. After correcting current issues, we focus on preventive care with a seasonal maintenance plan. This includes timely fertilization in spring and fall, pre-emergent weed control, and proper mowing guidance. A healthy, dense lawn is its own best defense against weeds, disease, and future dead spots. We'll help you establish a routine that keeps your Parkersburg yard looking great year after year.
