Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Sumter lawn get bare patches, and how can Tommy's help?
Bare patches in Sumter are often caused by a combination of heavy clay soil, wear and tear, and inconsistent moisture. Tommy's helps by first diagnosing the cause, then professionally preparing the soil and overseeding with a durable grass blend suited for our local climate. We ensure proper seed-to-soil contact and follow-up care to fill in those spots for good.
What is core aeration, and why is it important for compacted Sumter soil?
Core aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil from your lawn. It's crucial here because our local soil compacts easily, choking out grassroots. Aeration by Tommy's Lawn Service relieves that pressure, creating channels for air, water, and fertilizer to penetrate deeply. This strengthens your grass's root system, leading to a thicker, healthier lawn that better resists drought and disease.
Can you fix both soil compaction and bare spots at the same time?
Absolutely. In fact, treating them together is often the most effective strategy. Our typical process involves core aeration to alleviate compaction and improve the soil environment, followed immediately by overseeding the entire lawn, with extra attention to bare areas. The aeration holes provide perfect spots for new grass seeds to take root, giving you a comprehensive solution for a uniform, vibrant lawn.
