Jcalyeca Landscaping - Somerville's Top-Rated Landscapers

For Somerville's common soil issues, we recommend a two-step process: core aeration followed by overseeding. Aeration punches small holes in the compacted soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. Overseeding fills in bare patches with a robust grass variety that thrives in our local climate. This combined treatment is the most effective way to achieve a thick, healthy, and uniform lawn.

Core aeration is specifically designed to combat soil compaction, a frequent issue here. The machine removes small plugs of soil, creating channels for essential elements. This relieves pressure on grass roots, dramatically improves drainage to prevent pooling, and allows fertilizer to work more effectively. It's a foundational service for long-term lawn health in our area.

Overseeding is crucial in Somerville because it introduces newer, more durable grass varieties into your existing lawn. It thickens the turf to crowd out weeds, repairs damage from summer heat or winter cold, and increases overall drought and disease resistance. We use premium seed blends specifically selected for success in New Jersey's growing conditions.
