Lawn Leveling & Beautification
A well-maintained lawn looks beautiful to neighbors and to people passing by. What can’t be seen by the human eye is the hard work needed–especially the work and attention to detail at what lies under the surface. At Advanced Lawn and Land, we offer comprehensive lawn leveling and beautification services to ensure your lawn is both stunning and healthy.
Lawn Leveling
Lawn leveling is the most crucial step in achieving a flawless and functional lawn. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our lawn leveling process:
Assessment and Planning:
Site Inspection: Our team begins by inspecting your lawn to identify uneven areas, depressions, and high spots. We assess the extent of leveling required and any underlying issues that need to be addressed.
Soil Analysis: We conduct soil tests to determine the soil type, composition, and any necessary amendments to improve soil structure and fertility.
Customized Plan: Based on the inspection and soil analysis, we develop a customized leveling plan tailored to your lawn’s specific needs.
Preparation:
Clearing the Area: We start by clearing the lawn of any debris, rocks, and vegetation that may obstruct the leveling process.
Mowing and Dethatching: The grass is mowed to a short height, and any thatch is removed to ensure a clean working surface.
Irrigation: The lawn is lightly watered to make the soil more workable, facilitating easier leveling.
Topdressing:
Material Selection: We use a blend of topsoil, sand, and compost to create the ideal topdressing mix. This blend promotes healthy grass growth and ensures proper drainage.
Application: The topdressing mix is evenly spread over the low areas of the lawn. We use specialized equipment to ensure a consistent application.
Raking and Leveling: The topdressing is raked into the grass, filling in the low spots and smoothing out the surface. This process may be repeated several times until the desired level is achieved.
Compacting and Finalizing:
Compacting: After spreading and leveling the topdressing, we use a lawn roller to compact the soil, ensuring it is firm and stable. This step helps to eliminate air pockets and further smooth out the surface.
Final Adjustments: Any remaining uneven spots are addressed with additional topdressing and compacting, ensuring a perfectly level lawn.
Seeding and Sodding:
Seeding: For areas that need grass, we apply high-quality grass seed that is suitable for your region and lawn conditions. The seed is evenly distributed and lightly raked into the soil.
Sodding: For an instant green lawn, we lay fresh sod over the leveled area, ensuring each piece is properly aligned and securely placed.
Watering and Maintenance:
Initial Watering: The newly leveled lawn is thoroughly watered to help the grass seed germinate and the sod establish roots.
Ongoing Care: We provide detailed instructions for watering, mowing, and fertilizing to ensure your lawn remains healthy and vibrant. Our team also offers maintenance services to keep your lawn in top condition.
Soil Conditioning
Enhancing soil quality is essential for promoting healthy grass growth and a resilient lawn. Our soil conditioning process includes:
Organic Matter Addition: Incorporating organic matter such as compost to improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient availability.
Aeration: Aerating compacted soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots, promoting healthier growth.
pH Adjustment: Testing and adjusting the soil pH to ensure optimal conditions for grass growth.
Seeding and Sodding
Choosing the right grass type and installing it properly is crucial for a lush, green lawn. Our services include:
