Last weekend was no small project over 20,000 sq. ft. of lawns got some much needed love!

✅ Mowed Low

✅ Dethatched to clear out the dead grass and thatch buildup!

✅ Aerated to open up the soil and let water, air, and nutrients flow!

✅ Overseeded to thicken up the turf and keep it lush for seasons to come! Earl May provided the grass seed!

✅ Fertilized with a fertilizer with Mesotrione to protect against weeds in the new and existing grass

✅ Topdressed with peat moss to keep moisture consistent for the seeds! The VEVOR peat moss spreader was an amazing sperader compared to my previous one!

✅ Setup above ground Irrigation with timers to provide consistent watering to ensure proper seed germination!

Big jobs like this are a reminder that healthy lawns don’t just happen overnight it takes effort, the right timing, and the right care. Fall is the perfect season to rejuvenate grass and set it up for success next year!

Watch the next few posts as I will share some more tips about thatch, grass seed and more reasons why to rejuvenate your lawn more often than not!

Lets Poke Some Holes!

Fall is approaching and its prime time for aeration!

Over the summer, your lawn takes a beating heavy foot traffic, heat, and dry spells can compact the soil. When that happens, water, nutrients, and oxygen can’t reach the roots where they’re needed most.

Aerating in the fall loosens things up, giving your grass room to breathe and grow deeper, stronger roots before winter hits.

The result? A thicker, healthier, and greener lawn that wakes up ready to shine in the spring!

Think of aeration as a reset button for your yard your future lawn will thank you!

I have some openings in late September!

While most folks at the Iowa State Fair were looking for shade and cold lemonade the last couple weeks, my yard was soaking up the same warm August sunshine!

Despite the heat my grass is hanging tough and staying green kind of feels like it deserves a blue ribbon of its own!

It just goes to show that with the right care, even in the middle of fair week heat, your lawn can still shine brighter than the butter cow!

Warm season grasses built for the heat, made for your feet!

If your summers are long and hot, these grasses thrive where cool-season types struggle

Bahia
Can grow in many soils
Loves the water sun
Low Watering

Bermudagrass
Heat and drought tolerant
Grows fast and recovers quickly from damage
Great for high-traffic yards and sports fields
Needs full sun and regular mowing

Zoysiagrass
Dense and carpet-like
Tolerates heat and some shade
Grows slower, but that means less mowing
Excellent for lawns that get moderate foot traffic

St. Augustinegrass
Thick and coarse-bladed with a tropical look
Thrives in humidity and tolerates shade well
Not as drought-tolerant, but easy to establish with plugs
Perfect for coastal and southern regions

Centipedegrass
Low-maintenance champion
Loves acidic soils and full sun
Slow-growing, meaning less mowing and fertilizer
Ideal for homeowners who want an easy-care lawn

Whether you want soft and plush or tough and rugged, warm-season grasses exist for warm climates!

Sometimes people don’t understand simple requests, I told the foreman for the company doing the fiber installation for the development that I would handle my repairs on my own, spent over $100 to fix 3 spots in the lawn, little lone they trampled the entire parking strips. Come home tonight to find the laborers walking with wheelbarrows, dirt and contractors mix grass seed. Pull in my driveway to only discover they applied the seed to the spots I fixed AND didn’t listen to my wife after she told them to not as well earlier in the day when she saw them in the area! Come on people do better! I don’t have thousands of dollars invested into my lawn yearly for nothing….
