Jaces Landscaping Care: Local Landscaping Services Serving Rochester, NY 14626

For patchy lawns common in our area, we recommend a combination of core aeration and overseeding. Aeration relieves the soil compaction that stifles root growth, while overseeding introduces hearty, region-appropriate grass varieties to fill in the bare spots. This one-two punch addresses the underlying cause and provides a direct solution for a thicker, more uniform lawn.

A simple 'tuna can test' can reveal gaps: place empty cans around your lawn, run your sprinklers for a set time, and measure the water in each. Significant variation means uneven coverage. We fix this by performing a full sprinkler system audit, adjusting or replacing misaligned heads, tuning water pressure, and ensuring each zone is programmed correctly for Rochester's seasonal watering needs.

The ideal windows are early fall and spring. Fall is perfect for aeration, overseeding, and sprinkler adjustments, as cooler temperatures and autumn rains help new grass establish strong roots before winter. Spring is the time for cleanup, initial fertilization, and fine-tuning your irrigation system before the summer heat sets in. We can assess your lawn anytime to create a tailored seasonal plan.
