The science of breathing life back into tired grass
In short: Revitalizing a lawn is more than just mowing; it requires deep structural intervention. This video demonstrates how to systematically repair soil health and grass density using professional-grade techniques.
Landscape contractor Roger Cook explains a five-step process to restore a struggling lawn. The foundation of the project is aeration, which involves using a core aerator to create small holes in the turf. To ensure full coverage, the operator must make passes both up and down, then perpendicular to the first set.
Once aerated, compost is spread over the surface and worked into the holes with a rake. This is followed by applying fertilizer and grass seed using a broadcast spreader. The final essential step is thorough watering to settle the new nutrients and seeds into the soil.
