-
Fertilization gives your lawn the nutrients it needs to grow thicker, greener, and healthier. Many Pittsburgh-area lawns do not naturally have the ideal balance of nutrients in the soil, and regular fertilization helps strengthen grass so it can better handle weeds, pests, drought, frost, and seasonal stress.
-
Aeration is especially helpful when soil becomes compacted, which is common in Western Pennsylvania’s heavy clay soils. By removing small plugs from the lawn, aeration allows water, air, fertilizer, and seed to reach the root zone more effectively. This helps encourage stronger roots and healthier turf growth.
-
Thatch is the layer of dead and decomposing grass material that sits between the green grass blades and the soil. A small amount can be beneficial, but too much thatch can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the roots, leaving the lawn thin, soggy, or brown. Dethatching removes excess buildup and helps refresh the lawn.
