It is a three step process involving: Deep core aeration to open the soil, 60% premium slow release starter fertilizer to broadcast nutrients and food, and spreading highest quality grass seed over the primed lawn.

No, to include thatching is a separate service.

The Lawn Tune-up is the most cost-effective and inexpensive preventative maintenance you can offer your lawn. It is commonly effective to repair winter or summer lawn damage, to keep your newly sodded lawn thick and healthy by promoting deeper root development, or to simply maintain the healthy lawn you may already have established.

Spring and fall are the best times for optimal seed germinating temperatures (typically between 60-80 degrees). I recommend a lawn Tune-up twice a year.

If you have large bare spots of soil or have already thatched your lawn, your grass will require extra seed not included in the standard Tune-Up price.

I apply up to 10lbs of grass seed per 2,000 sqft.

  • Cut you lawn down low, because you wont be able to cut it for several weeks after the Tune-Up.
  • Mark sprinkler heads, oil tank caps and (shallow) cable TV lines.

The seed needs to germinate so waiting at least 3 weeks will give it time to establish roots. Make sure to cut higher than normal, 3-4 inches, as the seed could be germinating in two different stages.
