S Marks The Spot - Kenosha's Certified Landscaping Services

The key is patience and proper care once the ground thaws. Rushing can cause more harm. We start by gently raking away dead, matted grass to allow new growth to emerge. Then, we apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to nourish the recovering roots and overseed with cold-tolerant grass blends suited for our Wisconsin climate. Our approach focuses on strengthening your lawn's root system to better withstand future winters.

In Kenosha, common causes for dead spots include soil compaction, pet urine, fungal diseases, or improper watering. We don't just patch the spot; we diagnose the root cause. Our service involves testing the soil, aerating compacted areas, and treating any underlying disease. We then repair the area with quality topsoil and seed that matches your existing grass, ensuring a seamless, healthy repair that lasts.

Timing is crucial here. Starting too early on wet, frozen ground can damage your lawn's structure. We typically recommend beginning core aeration and overseeding services in early to mid-spring, once the soil is consistently workable and daytime temperatures are reliably above 50°F. For your first mow, wait until the grass is about 3 inches tall and mow on a dry day. Our seasonal schedule is tailored to Kenosha's climate for optimal results.
