FAQs
What's the most common cause of patchy grass in Medford, and how do you fix it?
In Medford, patchy lawns are frequently caused by compacted soil from foot traffic or heavy clay, which prevents water and nutrients from reaching grassroots. Our most effective solution is core aeration, which relieves compaction and allows for better air and water flow, followed by overseeding with durable grass varieties. This combination addresses the root cause and promotes a thick, resilient turf.
Can you revive a completely dead section of my lawn?
Absolutely. For dead lawn areas, we start by diagnosing the cause—often fungal disease, grub damage, or severe drought stress. We then remove the dead thatch, treat the underlying issue, and prepare the soil before installing new sod or performing a vigorous overseeding. Our process ensures the new grass establishes strongly, blending seamlessly with your existing lawn.
Do you offer preventative care to keep my Medford lawn healthy year-round?
Yes, we offer customized lawn care programs designed for Medford's climate. This includes seasonal fertilization to strengthen grass, pre-emergent weed control, and soil testing to maintain optimal pH and nutrient levels. A consistent, preventative plan is the best defense against the patchiness and dead spots that commonly affect lawns in our area.
