What Winter Does to Your Yard (And How to Fix It)

Winter lawn damage can quietly undo months of care if it’s not addressed early. But with the right steps, it’s possible to bring your yard back to life. In this guide, we’ll break down what winter really does to your lawn, how to spot the damage, and what you can do to revive it quickly and safely.Read More

The Best Ways to Treat Soil Compaction in Your Yard

You water your lawn regularly. You mow it when you should. But the grass still looks patchy, thin, or flat. Maybe water pools on the surface after rain, or the ground feels hard underfoot. These are classic signs of soil compaction, a hidden issue that can quietly damage your yard’s health over time.

When soil becomes too tightly packed, air and water can’t reach the roots. As a result, your grass weakens, weeds take over, and the entire yard starts to lose its resilience. The good news is that with the right treatment, you can reverse compaction and bring your lawn back to life.Read More
