Certified Landscaping in Sterling Heights, MI 48312 - Lawn Repair Guy

For bare or dead patches common in our area, the first step is understanding the underlying cause, which is often related to soil compaction, pH imbalance, or thinning grass. Lawn Repair Guy begins with a professional soil test to diagnose the specific issue. From there, we typically recommend core aeration to relieve compaction and overseeding with grass varieties suited to Michigan's climate, followed by a tailored fertilization plan to encourage thick, healthy regrowth.

Michigan soils can vary greatly and often become compacted or nutrient-deficient. A professional soil test reveals the exact pH and nutrient levels, allowing us to move beyond guesswork. This science-based approach ensures we apply only the fertilizers and amendments your lawn truly needs, making treatments more effective, cost-efficient, and environmentally responsible for long-term soil and lawn health.

Aeration involves removing small plugs of soil to alleviate compaction, allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots more effectively. For lawns in Sterling Heights dealing with heavy clay soil or high foot traffic, this is a crucial service. The ideal time for aeration in our climate is during the growing seasons of early fall or spring, which prepares the lawn for overseeding and fertilization for optimal results.
