Gardner Landscapes - Old Lyme's Licensed Landscaping Services

Absolutely. Patchy grass is a frequent issue we address in Old Lyme. Our service starts with diagnosing the cause—which could be soil compaction, pest damage, or irrigation problems—and then implements a targeted plan. This often includes core aeration, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited to our local climate, and adjusting your fertilization schedule to promote thick, uniform growth and repair those unsightly bare spots.

Regular lawn maintenance includes inspecting and maintaining your irrigation system. Our team can identify vulnerable sprinkler heads, make necessary repairs or adjustments to prevent future damage from mowers or foot traffic, and ensure your lawn receives even, efficient watering. Proper irrigation is key to preventing the dry patches and overwatered areas that lead to many common lawn problems here in Old Lyme.

The best approach is consistent, professional care tailored to our local environment. We recommend a seasonal lawn care program that includes proactive monitoring. This allows us to catch small problems—like a single malfunctioning sprinkler or the early signs of turf disease—before they become major issues like large patchy areas. A regular schedule of mowing, feeding, and aeration builds a stronger, more resilient lawn that naturally resists the specific challenges faced by properties in our area.
