These services are essential for improving lawn health, combating thatch buildup, and promoting root development. Whether you want to fill in bare spots, remove excess debris, or reduce soil compaction, these treatments will ensure your lawn stays healthy and beautiful year-round.

Service Overview

Lawn re-seeding, thatching, and aerating work together to improve the overall health and appearance of your lawn. Thatching removes excess thatch, which can block water and nutrients from reaching the soil, while aerating helps alleviate soil compaction and improve water absorption. Re-seeding fills in bare spots and helps thickens the lawn, promoting a lush, healthy, and more resilient yard.

Details of the Service

Included Tasks:

Lawn Assessment: Inspect your lawn to evaluate areas of concern, such as bare spots, thatch buildup, and compaction.
Thatching: Use dethatching equipment to remove excess thatch and organic material from the lawn surface.
Aeration: Perforate the soil using professional aerators to reduce compaction, improve drainage, and allow better oxygen and nutrient absorption by the roots.
Re-Seeding: Apply high-quality grass seed over the entire lawn, focusing on thinning or bare areas, to enhance lawn density.
Fertilization: Optionally, apply a light fertilizer to help the grass seed establish and ensure healthy growth.
Post-Treatment Care: Provide guidance on watering, mowing, and other post-treatment care to ensure the best results.

Best Practices:

Timing: The best times for these services are early spring or early fall, when the grass is actively growing, and temperatures are moderate.
Thatch Management: Thatching should be done only when there is a noticeable buildup (about ½ inch or more) to prevent unnecessary damage to the grass.
Aeration: Aeration should be done when the soil is moist but not saturated, and typically in areas with heavy foot traffic or compacted soil.
Seed Selection: Choose grass seed that is well-suited for Seattle’s climate and soil type, such as fine fescues or ryegrass, for best results.
Watering: Keep the lawn consistently moist after re-seeding for optimal seed germination and establishment.

FAQs

1. How often should I get my lawn thatched and aerated?
For most lawns, annual or biennial thatching and aeration are sufficient, but heavily compacted or frequently used lawns may need it more often.

2. Will overseeding fill in bare spots in my lawn?
Yes, overseeding helps to fill in bare areas and improve the overall density of the lawn, making it healthier and more resilient.

3. When is the best time to do re-seeding, thatching, and aerating?
Early spring or early fall is the best time for these services, as grass is actively growing, and the weather is ideal for germination.

With proper care, you should start seeing germination in 7–21 days, and full results in about 4–6 weeks.
