Application and reimbursement process
Step 4: Aeration Once you hire the contractor and select the date, they will go over your lawn with a deep-tine aerator to bring plugs of the soil up to the surface. This will create temporary holes in your lawn.
Step 5: Compost Application The last thing the contractor will do add compost to fill in those holes to help grow a green, lush, lawn. Your contractor may choose to add high-quality grass seed to the top layer.
Step 6: Water Your lawn will need a lot of water until the grass sprouts. Your contractor will advise you on how much to water, and when.
Step 7: Enjoy! With a little time (and water) your yard will look great!
