Certified Landscaping in Glastonbury, CT 06073 - Dondero Landscaping

The best approach is to address the underlying cause, which is often poor soil health. We start by testing your soil and then use a combination of core aeration to relieve compaction, top-dressing with quality compost, and overseeding with grass varieties proven to thrive in our local climate. This method doesn't just cover up the problem—it creates a thicker, healthier lawn that's more resistant to future issues.

Glastonbury's clay-heavy soils are prone to compaction from foot traffic and weather, which suffocates grass roots. Core aeration physically removes small plugs of soil, creating channels for air, water, and fertilizer to penetrate deeply. This process is crucial for revitalizing stressed lawns, promoting deeper root growth, and improving drainage—solving the compaction problem at its source for long-term lawn health.

Absolutely. Successful lawn repair starts with the soil. We offer professional soil analysis and amendment services. Based on the results, we can add organic matter and nutrients specifically needed to balance your soil's pH and structure. Proper soil preparation before seeding or sodding ensures strong germination and establishment, giving you a lush lawn that lasts, not just a quick fix.
