The Makings of a Successful Lawn Renovation

Neighborhood eyesore to best lawn on the block...

Before Renovation Started

Unsightly lawns are a matter of perspective, but they can draw some serious criticism if they don't appear equivalent to the neighbors.

The underlying struggles in this lawn were lacking nutrition and biology.  Clover is a natural indicator of low nitrogen soils.  Healthy clover means very little competition with the grass.

Dethatching the lawn; Before raking up debris

A renovation here consisted of dethatching much of the clover, weeds and dead grass. Then aeration of the soil, followed by remineralizing (a product called Azomite) and overseeding.  Topdressing with a 1/4" or so of compost was completed last.

Compost helps to improve and build the soil biology, nutrition and structure of the soil.  Grass can thrive much better when the soil is alive with biological activity and life.

Note that NO CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS were applied in the restoration of this lawn!
They are not needed when you feed and build soil.

We maintain this lawn with our liquid organic lawn fertilization program.  Check out our website to learn more about what we can do to improve your lawn naturally.

Hedahl Landscape maintains this lawn with our BeeSafe Organic Lawn Fertilization Services.

FOR REFERENCE, the lawn across the street is maintained with chemical fertilizers.  Our safe, natural organic fertilization is just as effective visually, and significantly more healthy-- feeding and building the soil life and supplying nutrition naturally so that the grass can feed when it desires to.

A perfect analogy to feeding the soil is like stocking the refrigerator full so there is food available anytime you want, rather than chemical fertilizers that are a quick energy drink from a drivethru that leaves you hungry later.
