Yards by Stew - Lexington's Expert Landscaping

Moss thrives in our area due to factors like compacted soil, excessive shade, poor drainage, and low soil pH—common issues in many Lexington yards. Our lawn care service combats this by first testing your soil's pH and then implementing core aeration to relieve compaction. We follow with targeted lime applications to correct acidity and overseed with shade-tolerant grass varieties. This comprehensive approach creates an environment where your desired grass can outcompete the moss, leading to a naturally healthier lawn.

Dead areas in Lexington lawns are often caused by a combination of factors, including fungal diseases, insect damage, pet spots, or simply poor soil conditions beneath the surface. Our process involves a thorough diagnosis to identify the exact cause. We then remove the dead turf, amend the soil with organic matter to improve its health, and replant with high-quality grass seed suited for our region. Proper follow-up watering and fertilization guidance ensure the new grass establishes strongly, seamlessly blending with your existing lawn.

The most crucial aspect is proactive and consistent soil health management. Many local lawn issues stem from the soil. Our core lawn care program focuses on building a strong foundation through regular aeration to prevent compaction, balanced fertilization based on soil tests, and proper mowing techniques. This strengthens the grass roots, improves water infiltration, and boosts your lawn's natural resistance to moss, disease, and stress, preventing problems before they start and saving you time and money in the long run.
