Professional Landscaping in Grosse Ile, MI 48138 - Schutt Landscaping

Dead patches and compaction are common here due to our clay-heavy soil, high summer heat, and areas of heavy use. Compaction suffocates grass roots. Our solution starts with core aeration, which pulls small plugs of soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate. We then overseed with hardy grass blends suited for our climate and amend the soil to improve its structure, directly addressing the root causes of your lawn's struggles.

Simply throwing seed on compacted, dead areas often leads to poor results. The seed needs proper soil contact and nutrients to germinate. We recommend aeration first to break up the hard soil. Then, we apply a high-quality seed and a starter fertilizer, followed by a thin layer of compost or topsoil to protect the seed. This comprehensive approach gives new grass the best chance to establish itself and blend seamlessly with your existing lawn.

Beyond immediate visual improvement, restoring your lawn builds long-term health and resilience. Relieving compaction improves drainage, reducing puddling and runoff. A thicker lawn from overseeding naturally crowds out weeds and helps prevent future soil erosion. A healthy, dense turf also stays cooler in summer and can better withstand foot traffic, meaning less work and worry for you in future seasons, protecting your property's value and enjoyment.
