Grass Kings - Saint John's Experienced Landscaping Services

Dead spots are often a symptom of underlying issues like soil compaction, which prevents water and nutrients from reaching grass roots. Our service starts with diagnosing the cause. We then use core aeration to open up the soil and follow with overseeding of hardy grass varieties suited for our area. This combination addresses the root cause and effectively fills in those unsightly bare patches.

Our core lawn care program is designed to build lawn health from the ground up, which naturally combats compaction. It includes scheduled mowing at the proper height to encourage deep roots, seasonal fertilization to strengthen the grass, and, most importantly, annual core aeration. Aeration is key for Saint John lawns; it pulls out small soil plugs to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate compacted soil, revitalizing your turf.

The ideal windows for tackling these issues in our climate are early fall and spring. Fall is particularly effective because cooler temperatures and autumn rains create perfect conditions for new grass seed to establish strong roots without the stress of summer heat. We recommend aeration and overseeding in the fall to give your lawn a head start, resulting in a thicker, healthier yard by the following spring.
