Lawn Care & Soil Solutions in Westgate, NY | Thomas D'Hondt Landscaping

In Westgate, dead patches are often caused by a combination of factors like compacted soil, poor drainage, or disease. We start by diagnosing the specific cause—whether it's from foot traffic, thatch buildup, or something else. Our fix typically involves core aeration to relieve compaction, overseeding with hardy grass varieties suited for our area, and applying targeted soil amendments to promote healthy regrowth.

Soil compaction, common in our area, squeezes out air and water pockets that grass roots need to thrive. This leads to thin, weak lawns, poor drainage, and increased runoff. Our primary solution is professional core aeration. This process removes small plugs of soil, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone. For severe cases, we may recommend top-dressing with compost to further improve soil structure and health.

The best first step is a professional lawn evaluation. We'll visit your property to assess soil conditions, grass health, drainage, and identify any underlying issues like compaction or disease. From there, we create a customized plan that addresses your lawn's specific needs. This neighborly, expert approach ensures we use the right treatments—from aeration to seeding—to build a stronger, greener lawn tailored for Westgate's environment.
