Lawn Renovation
When your lawn is beyond repair — a complete fresh start done right.
About This Service
When lawn quality is beyond repair, renovation is the only answer. Complete lawn renovation involves several steps. First, your old turf is removed using a small, non-intrusive machine. Second, your existing soil is tilled and additional topsoil may be added to prepare the lawn for seeding or sod and fertilizing.
Seeding: We broadcast seed over newly tilled soil at a rate of 6–8 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. Specialized fertilizer is added at 8–10 lbs per 1,000 sq. ft. The seed and fertilizer are then raked into the soil to ensure coverage for the best possible germination. We always use fresh, high-quality grass seed. New seed must be kept moist — water daily until you see grass coming up, then every other day for two weeks.
Sod: By choosing sod over seed you get an instant lawn, but still need to water daily until the grass becomes established. When laying sod, we ensure all seams are tucked in for better establishment and a clean look. Sod needs to be watered three times a day for three weeks. After six weeks, fertilizer should be applied. High-quality Bluegrass seed is always used unless otherwise specified.
