Every yard has its own challenges. That’s why we begin with an in-person consultation to evaluate your property and create a step-by-step renovation plan. Our process focuses on long-term results, turning struggling grass into a dense, thriving yard that adds curb appeal and value.
What’s Included in Our Yard Renovation Services
We handle every step of the renovation process, making sure your yard has the foundation it needs for healthy growth and long-lasting results.
- In-Person Consultation and Assessment: We walk your property to identify specific issues like poor drainage, compacted soil, and uneven surfaces. This allows us to develop a renovation plan tailored to your yard’s unique challenges.
- Soil Cultivation and Tilling: Compacted soil suffocates grass roots, blocks water absorption, and limits nutrient flow. We use heavy-duty tillers to loosen the soil, improve aeration, and create the ideal environment for grass to grow strong and deep.
- Regrading and Leveling: Uneven ground leads to water pooling, erosion, and thin grass coverage. We correct dips, bumps, and slopes, creating a smooth, even surface that improves water flow and supports uniform grass growth.
- Water Drainage Solutions: Poor drainage can drown grass, attract pests, and create muddy spots. We reshape the yard to control water runoff, direct excess water away from problem areas, and prevent future pooling. This ensures your yard dries out evenly and recovers quickly after rainfall.
- Soil Amendments and Nutrient Boosting: Healthy grass starts with healthy soil. We add topsoil, compost, and pH stabilizers as needed to improve structure, increase nutrient levels, and support long-term grass health.
- Sod Installation and Seeding: Depending on your needs, we can install sod for immediate coverage or seed the area for slower, deep-rooted growth. We use grass varieties that thrive in North Carolina’s climate, giving your yard the best chance of staying green and full year-round.
- Full Yard Overhaul: Some yards need a total transformation. Our full renovation package combines regrading, soil amendments, and reseeding to deliver long-lasting results. We don’t offer these services individually, ensuring that every part of the process works together for maximum success.
Benefits of a Full Yard Renovation
A complete yard renovation improves both the appearance and health of your outdoor space. It addresses underlying issues and creates a stronger, more resilient yard.
- Eliminates Drainage Issues: Proper grading and soil improvements prevent pooling water and reduce erosion. This keeps your yard dry, stable, and free from muddy spots after heavy rain.
- Strengthens Grass Growth: Loosened soil and added nutrients help grass roots grow deeper, leading to thicker, greener grass. This improves your lawn’s ability to withstand foot traffic, drought, and seasonal changes.
- Creates Safer and More Usable Space: Smoothing out dips, holes, and uneven areas makes your yard safer and easier to mow. It also creates a smoother surface for outdoor activities and gatherings.
- Reduces Long-Term Maintenance: Improved drainage and nutrient-rich soil reduce the need for frequent repairs, reseeding, and chemical treatments. This saves both time and money while supporting long-term grass health.
- Boosts Curb Appeal and Property Value: A full, healthy yard adds immediate visual appeal and increases the overall value of your property. A well-maintained outdoor space also makes your home more attractive to future buyers.
- Improves Resistance to Weeds and Pests: Dense grass naturally crowds out weeds and makes it harder for pests to take hold. This reduces the need for chemical treatments and keeps your yard looking its best year-round.
