Complete lawn renovation
A professional seeding service.
Our renovation service is aimed to deliver an exceptionally dark, disease resistant lawn from seed. Our comprehensive approach allows for consistent results and satisfied customers.
What to expect: A beautiful lawn within 6-8 weeks.
The catch: Great results will largely depend on your ability to temporarily keep kids & pets off the lawn. We will take care of the rest.
This service will require a properly functioning irrigation system and (often frequent) controller access. Service window is limited (Aug 15-october 15) Site prep will begin ~1 month prior to seeding date to allow for seasonal timing.

More info about our process…
Site prep - We start early (mid-July) to ensure we have sucessfully killed off all existing weed and grass vegetation. (This will require weeds and grass to be actively growing for successful treatment)
Irrigation - We will set a site specific “grow-in” program and manage irrigation from start to finish.
Seasonal Timing - Seeding is performed between August 15th- thru October 1sth to coincide with ideal conditions for establishment.
Top quality grass seeds - We use exclusively NTEP rated “elite” seed cultivars. We offer perennial rye or turf type tall fescue blends.
Seed to soil contact - We take steps to prepare the seedbed ensuring new grass seeds have proper contact with exposed soil.
Fertilizer - We supplement nutrients to ensure rapid establishment of new seedlings before seasons change..
Compost top-dressing - When seeding we apply a thin layer of premium organic compost. This acts as a seed cover and an extra “insurance policy” to help maintain adequate moisture, soil temperature, and prevent seed loss to wildlife.
Water Saver treatment - We use a high quality (eco-friendly) wetting agent to assist in maintaining proper soil moisture levels. Additionally this can help prevent “wash-out” from heavy rainfall.
The“Grow-in” plan
New grass seedlings require a little bit of additional care and attention as they mature. Like with most anything, there are a few subtle nuances that make the difference. We go the extra mile to ensure customers are 100% satisfied with the results.
Follow-up care package includes:
On-site visit #1 (~2 weeks) - “I see some new grass…”
Lawn Magic: Check soil-moisture levels, perform irrigation adjustment (if needed), check for initial germination, ensure no damage or wash-out has occurred.
On-site visit #2 (~4 weeks) - “Starting to resemble a lawn…”
Lawn Magic: First mowing is carefully performed by us. Check soil-moisture levels, perform irrigation adjustment, fertilizer application. additional seed applied if needed.
Customer: Following this visit, customer resumes mowing 1x-2x weekly. (follow the 1/3rd rule.)
On-site visit #3 (~8 weeks ) - “You have been elected President of the HOA…”
Lawn Magic : Fertilizer application, Irrigation controller is turned “OFF” (weather dependent).
Customer: Continue frequent mowing until growth stalls.
*If your property has notable drainage concerns, tree roots, or shade, we always recommend addressing these issues first. It will be critically important to keep traffic (kids & pets) off the lawn for a minimum of 8 weeks while establishing. This service will require customers to have a properly functioning sprinkler system or means of watering daily until established.
