Soil-tested lawn treatment in River Heights
Lawns in River Heights tend to be old. Mature trees shade many of them, and many carry years of thatch. Many need core aeration to open the soil and overseeding to fill thin spots under the trees.
The ground in River Heights
Most River Heights lawns went in decades ago. The trees planted with them now shade much of the grass. The soil under those lawns has often settled and packed down over the years.
Lawn problems we look for in River Heights
Yellow-green grass in summer
Because River Heights soil is alkaline, it often locks up iron. Many lawns turn yellow-green in summer. Our June visit adds liquid iron to the feed. The pH reading on your soil report tells us how likely your soil is to lock up iron.
Shade from mature trees
Grass under big trees thins out over time because the trees shade it and take water from the same soil. Fall renovation aerates the lawn and then overseeds the thin areas. Water the new seed every day for about two weeks.
Thatch in mature lawns
Old lawns often build a layer of dead stems and roots called thatch. A thick layer can shed water before it reaches the soil. We measure thatch depth at the free assessment. Where the thatch is thick, core aeration pulls plugs through it.
We feed your River Heights lawn at all six visits and treat the whole lawn for weeds in May and August
