Our lawn repair experts restore exhausting parts of lawns that have gone bald or thin due to extreme conditions or unexpected lawn diseases. They can get to the root source of the problem, remove any dead grass, moss, or weeds, and add nutrients to bring your soil and turf back to life. Almost any damaged lawn is repairable, but if more than half of your lawn area is already polluted with weeds or moss, then laying new turf is usually more practical and reasonable than repairing. Here's how our lawn repair typically works:

Scarifying your lawn

One of the most effective ways to start a lawn repair is through scarification. Ideally, with a mechanical lawn scarifier, your lawn expert removes most of the surface thatch or the layer of dead grass and moss that have accumulated over the years. It aims to strip off your lawn and open up more space so the soil can easily absorb the nutrients. Plus, it can help solve the regular thinning of your turf and encourage healthier grass growth in the future. 

Aerating your lawn

Once freed from the dead grass clippings and moss, the soil must be ready for lawn aeration. The idea is to pierce small holes and allow the soil to absorb air, nutrients, and water. Sounds easier than done, but having an expert do core aeration with a lawn aerator is safer and more reliable. Tasker can quickly and efficiently remove the cores and relieve your dried and compacted soil.

Repairing a lawn with grass seed

Grass seeding is perhaps the most crucial element of lawn restoration. With so many types of seeds available, it's essential to choose the most appropriate ones that fit your location, soil type, and climate condition. When in doubt, our Taskers are more than happy to help you find grass seeds for your lawn. After scarification and aeration, our Tasker proceeds with spreading out the seeds generously across the delicate areas of your yard to cover the patches effectively.

Final top dressing 

The service usually concludes by covering the reseeded surfaces with a thin layer of topsoil or garden fabric. Not only does it create a smooth finish, but it can also help the seeds to germinate and speed up their growth. It also conceals cracks and holes from scarification and aeration and improves drainage. Now, you can start watering your turf and wait at least two weeks to see the results.
