Preparing For Winter

In order to prepare the lawn for winter most people will have the leaves and other debris removed. This helps to prevent the growth of moss as well as help your grass to grow long and healthy. Unfortunately for a lot of people, yard maintenance this time of year stops here. We recommend allowing us to spike and fill holes. For those of you who may not be familiar with this process, it allows for proper aeration as well as drainage. This is why we spike holes using a special tool called an aerator. We then fill the holes so that they do not close up. Another maintenance task which we perform is spreading a top-dressing over your lawn which is the distribution of a good, quality soil. We then will work the soil into your lawn preventing and treating common lawn issues. By top-dressing we improve drainage, improve low spots caused by rotting tree, level out hollows, and add nutrients to your lawn - just to name a few.
