What should I expect after aeration and overseeding?

Core aeration pulls 2-4 inch plugs out of the soil leaving them laying through out the yard. These will break down over time with rain and mowing. Seeding will be done immediately after the aeration. Water is essential for the next 10-14 days after the aeration and seeding is completed for best results.

What should I expect after liming?

There are no immediate effects after liming. It takes on average 6-8 months for lime to get worked into the soil to change the soils pH.

How long after estimate request will you be out to evaluate my lawn?

An estimator will be out ASAP usually within 5 business days

Do I need to be there when an estimator comes out to evaluate my lawn?

No, you do not need to be there when the estimator comes out, he will leave the estimate sheet in your front door

Can you control Bermuda grass, Johnson grass, Dallisgrass?

We do not offer control of these grasses due to the cost and the effectiveness of the chemical.

Why do I have weeds along edges of my lawn?

Chemical breaks down more rapidly along rocks, driveways, sidewalks, etc. due to increased temperatures along those surfaces. Weed-eaters cut the edges too short which breaks down the pre-emergent barrier.
