Sod Installation

Are you needing new grass or are you tired of your lawn now that’s full of weeds or perhaps the grass is just dead and you’re looking for something else? Well, you came to the right spot because sod installation just happens to be our specialty. What can sod offer? Newly installed sod offers immediate gratification. While it’s not ready for normal lawn traffic, it instantly gives the look of a finished, healthy lawn. When handled and installed properly, newly positioned sod generally takes just two to three weeks to root well and become established. We can prep the soil in many different ways to ensure proper growth of your sod to take root.We use a sod farmer that we feel has the best sod in the area. We have done dozens of sod installments without having any issues or any concerns of the sod not growing. And our customers are happy and we know that you will be too!

Lawn Aeration

Lawn Aeration is the single most beneficial cultural practice in lawn care and we strongly recommend aerating your lawn annually. The purpose of Lawn Aeration is to cultivate the soil opening holes in it to allow water, air and plant nutrients to penetrate the dirt. Grass roots need air and will grow vigorously following core aeration. This is also the perfect time to overseed the yard, after aerating. The holes creates pockets for the seed to germinate resulting in a more fuller, lush and perfectly kept yard.

Lawn Dethatching

Dethatching otherwise known as “scarifying”. Thatch is basically a layer of living and dead grass shoots, stems, and roots that forms between the green grass blades and the soil surface. Some thatch (1/2 inch or less) is actually beneficial; it acts like mulch to provide insulation from temperature extremes, helps keep moisture in the soil, and provides a protective layer of cushioning. However, when the thatch layer is more than ¾ inch thick, it can lead to increased pest and disease problems , and also reduces the amount of oxygen and moisture that are able to reach the soil and grass roots. When this happens, it’s time to dethatch your lawn. Dethatching removes this thick layer of decaying plant material so air, water, nutrients, and fertilizer can reach the soil better, plus your lawn can drain more effectively. The results are amazing and helps provide for the perfect lawn.
