Done right, start to finish
Seed only grows as well as the ground it lands on. That is why most of the work on a new lawn happens before the seed goes down.
We pull rocks and debris, fine-grade the yard so water runs away from the house, and work the soil with a Ventrac power rake. The power rake breaks up clods, levels low spots and leaves a loose seedbed that seed can root into.
Then we spread a seed blend suited to your sun and shade and cover it with straw. The straw holds moisture and keeps seed from washing off slopes during the first heavy rain. It is a big part of why our new lawns fill in evenly.

Lawn Seeding & New Lawn Installation questions
When is the best time to seed a lawn in Ohio?
Late summer into early fall is the best window because the soil is warm, nights are cool and weeds slow down. Spring is the second-best time. We seed throughout the growing season and will tell you what to expect for your timing.
Why do you put straw over the seed?
Straw keeps the seed and soil moist, shades young grass and stops seed from washing away in heavy rain, especially on slopes. Grass grows right up through it.
How long until I can mow my new lawn?
Usually about three to four weeks, once most of the new grass is around three to four inches tall. Weather and watering make a big difference.
How should I water new seed?
Keep the top of the soil moist with light watering, usually once or twice a day, until the grass is up and filling in. Then water less often and more deeply.
Do you seed new construction lots for builders?
Yes. We fine-grade, power rake, seed and straw new construction lots, and we can add foundation beds, trees and mulch in the same visit.
