A healthy lawn resists invasion by moss, weeds, insects and diseases. If your lawn is not meeting your expectations, consider a lawn renovation.
Maintain the right growing conditions needed for strong, healthy turfgrasses.
Lawns change over time. After sowing lawn seed or laying sod, the mixture of desired turfgrasses and broadleaf weeds, grassy weeds and moss will evolve.
Soil drainage, soil fertility, sunlight, water stress, and how the lawn is cared for and used influence how a lawn looks over time.
Set realistic expectations. Match the lawn standards you want to maintain with the right maintenance schedule.
Consider a no-till lawn renovation
Consider a total lawn renovation if moss, weeds, insects or diseases are overwhelming your lawn.
Late summer is the best time of year for a lawn renovation.

Complete renovation (left): Herbicide dethatch and reseed.
Partial renovation (right): Dethatch and reseed.
Both treatment areas in the photo are ready for seeding.
