Sod and seeding questions
When is the best time to seed a lawn?
Rutgers calls late August to late September the best time to renovate a lawn in New Jersey.
Do you overseed thin lawns?
Yes. Overseeding thickens a thin lawn without starting over.
Sod or seed: which is better?
Sod gives you a finished lawn right away and costs more; seed costs less and takes a few weeks to fill in. We can talk through both when we see the yard.
Can you fix the lawn after a patio or drainage job?
Yes. We regrade, topsoil and sod or seed the ground around new work.
