Lawn Renovation
Let Buckeye Ecocare give your lawn thicker growth, better color, and greater resistance to disease and drought!
Why? Many older lawns were established with common type turf grasses not suited for heat, drought or poor soil conditions. They are more often disease and insect prone, requiring more fertilizer and water, a precious resource we can’t afford to waste. New construction lawns are often stripped of topsoil and the compacted subsoil creates poor growing conditions.
A lawn restoration through over-seeding or sodding will upgrade your lawn and increase the value of your landscape. A well maintained lawn and landscape can add 15% to the value of your home. Over-seeding newer turf grass varieties into an older lawn will help it better withstand insects, disease, drought and foot traffic.
How? There are three basic methods we use to renovate lawns here in Southern Ohio.
- Slice-seeding with a mechanical slit-seeder. This is the best method for over-seeding established turf. Our machines vertically cut “slits” or miniature furrows through the thatch layer into the soil. Seed is dropped into the furrows assuring seed soil contact where the seedlings can germinate. The machines will not destroy the existing turf grass plants.
- Topdress and Over-seeding. Topdressing your lawn with compost-enriched topsoil also ensures 100% seed soil contact and does not destroy existing healthy turf grass plants. We recommend topdressing and over-seeding when the soil grade needs to be improved. Topdressing allows us the opportunity to level your lawn, fill in low spots, or improve drainage issues throughout the yard. Additionally, we install only disease, drought, and insect resistant turf grass seed.
- Sod Repair. This is the “extreme lawn makeover” method. We start with a treatment of Roundup to remove all of the undesirable grasses and weeds from your lawn. Next, we strip and remove all of the thatch and re-grade making your lawn level again. The latest and greatest sod is installed and within a few days, we have transformed your old tired lawn into a brand new dark green blanket of turf.
Conclusions. Buckeye Ecocare has been renovating lawns since 1990 using the latest drought and insect resistant seed and sod varieties. We want you to have the lowest maintenance, easiest to manage lawn in your neighborhood. We have renovated over 700 lawns here in the Miami Valley, upgrading them to Turf Type Tall Fescue and Hybrid KBG. Our ultimate goal is to have our clients use less water on their lawns. Ecocare means that we do care about the environment.

”We used to fight disease insects and crabgrass. Our new sod is greener and thicker and we only use our sprinkler system once a week.”
Client #2
“Could you please schedule aeration and over-seeding every fall. This spring our lawn was thicker than ever. My husband wants to continue with this service every year.”

"Like most people I was a little impatient with our newly seeded lawn. We were the very last lot developed in our community and I was anxious for the perfect lawn. Just one year after the back lawn was hydroseeded, our seed/sod border could not be found! Now I have the nicest lawn in the area. We love our new fescue lawn and all of our neighbors are jealous."
