Services

Five treatments. All of them change the soil.

None of this is mowing, and none of it is spraying. Every service here is a physical change to the ground under your grass — which is why the results last past the season you paid for.

Compaction

Core Aeration

Pulls thousands of soil cores out of the lawn, opening compacted clay so water, air and roots can move through it again.

Early September through late October is the window in a cool-season fescue market. Soil is still warm, air is cooling, and the…

Organic matter

Compost Topdressing

Spreads a thin, even layer of certified compost across the turf, raising soil organic matter so the ground holds water instead of shedding it.

Fall alongside aeration and overseeding is the strongest combination. A spring application also works, particularly on lawns being brought back from a…

Leveling & drainage

70/30 Sand & Compost

A 70% sand, 30% compost blend worked into the surface to fill low spots and give water somewhere to go on heavy Triangle clay.

Turf density

Fall Fescue Over-Seeding

Drops new tall fescue seed into an aerated, topdressed surface in the fall window, when soil is warm and the seed has two cool seasons to establish.

Mid-September through mid-October in the Triangle. Seed needs warm soil to germinate and cool air to establish, and that overlap is short.…

Multi-season

Soil Amendment Program

A season-by-season plan built off a soil test, correcting what the test actually shows rather than applying the same bag to every lawn.

A program can start in any season, because the first step is a test rather than an application. Most people start in…

Why there are no prices on this page

Because a number without a measurement is a guess. Two lawns of the same size can be very different jobs depending on grass type, how compacted the soil is, how much of the property is actually treatable turf, and how much access there is for a machine.

What you get instead is every service listed with exactly what it includes and exactly what it will not do, so you can tell before anyone comes out whether it is the right work for your lawn. Jay Cooper measures from satellite imagery first, then confirms it on site.
