our lawn renovation

Over the years, lawns can become weaker due to soil compaction, thatch build up, the aftermath of disease or insect problems or a variety of conditions. When a lawn has been underperforming, and fertilizer and water do not seem to help, it may be time to consider lawn renovation. Lawn renovation techniques can provide a simpler way to restore the grass plants health and vigor, and save you from tearing out the existing lawn and starting over. Barnes Nursery uses the following techniques in our lawn renovation projects either alone or in combination with another.

Lawn Renovation Techniques:

• Core aeration – removes small grass plugs so that nutrients, moisture and air have more access to the grass roots causing improvement in lawn performance.
• Verticutting-Slice seeding – A machine is passed over the lawn in a criss-cross pattern scarifying the soil surface as it moves along. The machine drops seed and incorporates the seed into the soil surface. Fertilizer is applied.
• Top dressing/Over-seeding – A thin layer of soil is applied over the top of an existing lawn. Seed and fertilizer are incorporated.
• Thatching
• Fertilization
• Weed control
• Insect monitoring
