Dead patches are often caused by compacted soil, poor drainage, or disease. For Edmonds lawns, we typically start with core aeration to relieve compaction and improve water penetration, followed by overseeding with durable, Pacific Northwest grass blends. We'll also test your soil and may recommend specific amendments to correct pH and nutrient levels, addressing the underlying issue to prevent recurrence.

Thin, patchy grass in our area can stem from several factors. Common culprits in Edmonds include shade from mature trees, soil that's depleted of nutrients, or an incorrect mowing height that stresses the grass. A professional assessment can identify the specific cause. Solutions often involve adjusting your mowing practices, implementing a seasonal fertilization plan suited to our climate, and possibly introducing shade-tolerant grass varieties to thicken those problem areas.

Building a resilient lawn is key. In late summer or early fall, we recommend core aeration and overseeding to strengthen the root system before the wet season. This helps prevent soil compaction and moss invasion. For summer, ensuring deep, infrequent watering early in the morning and maintaining a proper mowing height (around 3 inches) helps the grass retain moisture and crowd out weeds, creating a lawn that thrives year-round in our local climate.
