That sounds like classic soil compaction, a common issue in our area. The first and most effective step is core aeration. This process removes small plugs of soil, which relieves compaction, allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots, and encourages deeper, healthier growth. For many local lawns, a seasonal aeration program makes a dramatic difference.

The best approach is a combination of pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control tailored to our local weed types and seasons. A pre-emergent treatment in early spring creates a barrier to stop weed seeds from germinating. We then follow up with targeted post-emergent applications to eliminate any existing weeds. Consistent, season-long management is key to winning the battle against local infestations.

Absolutely. Improving your soil's health is foundational to a beautiful landscape. We start with a soil analysis to understand its composition and pH. Based on the results, we can recommend and apply specific soil amendments, like lime or organic matter, to correct imbalances and improve texture. Healthier soil leads to stronger grass that naturally resists weeds, drought, and disease common in our climate.
