Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Plymouth lawn have so many dead spots and hard soil?
This is a very common issue in our area. Plymouth's heavy clay soils are prone to compaction, especially after winter. This compaction prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots, leading to thinning and dead patches. Additionally, winter salt, pet traffic, and disease can contribute. We start with a soil analysis to pinpoint the exact cause before recommending a solution.
What's the best way to fix a compacted lawn in Plymouth?
For established lawns suffering from compaction, core aeration is the most effective treatment. We use professional equipment to remove small plugs of soil, creating channels for air, water, and fertilizer to penetrate the root zone. We typically recommend aeration in the fall for cool-season grasses, followed by overseeding to fill in thin areas with improved soil contact. For severe cases, we may suggest a deeper soil amendment strategy.
Can you save a lawn that's mostly dead, or does it need a full replacement?
Often, a full replacement isn't necessary. We offer lawn renovation services that can successfully restore badly damaged areas. This process involves dethatching, aggressive aeration, topdressing with quality compost to improve soil structure, and overseeding with high-quality, region-appropriate grass seed. This approach is typically more cost-effective than a full sod replacement and results in a thicker, more resilient lawn suited to Plymouth's conditions.
