Sod Services in Goose Creek, K

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 05:00:10 GMT

Our customer in the Goose Creek area off of Westport Rd reached out to remodel her back yard area. She had a large area in her back yard where she wanted to install sod.

Sod is a great solution for someone looking to have immediate grass coverage in their lawn. Sod is simply grass that has been grown, cut into strips, and rolled up. When we install sod, we can cut the roll into the exact area to fit the desired space - like our customer’s lawn area that was surrounded by gravel walkways and small planter gardens.

Sod is typically ready for normal foot traffic, pets, and children within 2 to 3 weeks and does require consistent watering to re-establish the root system in its new lawn. If you’re looking for an immediate solution to your lawn’s bare spots, sod might be the solution for you. Call or text us today to discuss your options at 502-499-7841 .

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 05:00:03 GMT

Many of our customers choose the Grade “A” Cedar mulch for its beauty as well as its durability

Why do we offer Grade “A” mulch?

First, it looks GREAT in any landscape. It can also be flipped later in the season to refresh the look giving you twice the life span of other mulch options.

Mulch is an asset to any landscaping - for its health benefits and its beauty - and with Grade "A" Cedar mulch you're elevating your home even further. Call or text us to schedule your spring landscaping refresh!

Drainage repair and downspout installation in Fern Creek, KY

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:00:06 GMT

Our customer in the Glenmary area of Fern Creek reached out about issues from her downspout and the drainage behind her home. We extended the downspouts off the back of the house to carry the water further away from the structure and reduce the erosion of the lawn. Once the new drain lines were re-buried, we hand seeded the area before power seeding the back yard.

Directing water away from your home’s foundation is critical to prevent structural damage, basement flooding, and other costly repairs. We will return in the fall to power seed the areas where the new drain lines were buried and the rest of the backyard to ensure proper germination and build density.

Why you need to schedule leaf clean up sooner rather than later

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 08:00:00 GMT

Leaf clean up can seem like a constant struggle in the fall. Falling leaves can quickly accumulate, creating an unsightly and potentially hazardous layer on your lawn. There are also many issues that excess leaves can create for your lawn if you don’t clean up your leaves.

Here are some of the top reasons why you need to make leaf clean up a priority throughout the season - and definitely not leave them all winter:

Prevent Lawn Damage: Leaves smother the grass, block sunlight, and trap moisture. This can lead to dead patches and disease.
Avoid Pests: Piled-up leaves create a perfect hiding spot for pests like rodents and insects.
Boost Curb Appeal: A clean yard enhances the overall look of your home - especially during the fall and winter.
Prevent Safety Hazards: Wet leaves create slippery surfaces. If you’ve got leaves on your sidewalks and driveway that are wet, you’re risking potentially injuring yourself or guests of your home.

We’re equipped with professional equipment including our vacuum truck that allows us to quickly complete your leaf clean up saving you money.

We recommend completing at least 2 leaf clean ups a season. This makes each visit more manageable in terms of the time required for service and keeps your property looking its best throughout the season. We offer service at whatever frequency fits your needs.

Don’t wait until late December or even next year to schedule your leaf clean up! Give us a call or text at 502-499-7841 or contact us to get on our schedule.

Landscape Lighting in Glenmary

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 08:00:01 GMT

This customer in Glenmary called us to clean up their landscape beds and replace their outdated landscape lighting system. After a 1-1 on-site consultation, Kyle created a custom landscape and lighting design for their home. We use CAST lighting fixtures which are solid sand-cast bronze which is the most corrosion-resistant metal used to make landscape lighting fixtures. They add elegance to any space on top of providing light to highlight walkways, steps, and landscaping features of your property.

We cleaned out the existing landscape beds, installed path lights along the driveway that add a soft illumination for both added elegance and increased visibility and safety for drivers and guests as it continues to get darker sooner, installed spotlights and a wash light within the newly refreshed landscape beds along the front of the home, mulched with Hardwood mulch, and even without the night-time view the results are stunning!

Landscape lighting not only adds elegance to your home’s landscape and architecture, but also provides security, improves visibility, and reduces hazards for yourself and your guests year round. We also offer financing through GreenSky to make any project fit your budget. Call or text us at 502-499-7841 or contact us to schedule your landscape lighting consultation with WLS today! (Stay tuned for Part 2 of this job - when the sun goes down and the lights come on!)

Arborvitae Installation in Middletown, KY

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 08:00:06 GMT

Fall is a great time of year to plant trees and shrubs in the Louisville area. The major heat of summer is gone, but the soil temperatures are still warm. This gives two benefits to your newly planted tree or shrub - cooler weather is easier on new plant installation while the warm soil still encourages strong root growth.

Newly planted trees and shrubs in the fall don't have to put their energy into growing leaves or blooms so there is more effort dedicated to root development. Less stress and stronger roots means a stronger tree in the spring!

Our customer in Middletown, KY wanted to install Green Emerald Arborvitae in the back area of his backyard. Arborvitae (also known as just "arbs") are hearty shrubs, thrive in our growing zone, and are a great choice if you're trying to build some natural privacy with your landscaping because they come in a variety of sizes and grow quickly.

If you're looking to plant new trees, shrubs, or an overall landscape renovation - fall is the perfect time to get it scheduled. Give us a call at 502-499-7841 or fill out our service request form to discuss your fall landscaping projects!

Why your lawn needs fall and winter fertilization

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 16:00:02 GMT

Your lawn care shouldn't stop at the end of the summer. Fall and winter are critical times for your lawn's overall health and root development.

Our full season program to includes everything your lawn needs from pre-emergent before spring through winter fertilization. Here are the top reasons why you need to be on a program that includes fall and winter fertilization:

Strengthen roots before winter with the nutrients your lawn needs to support root development before the ground freezes.
The heat, drought, and foot traffic in the lawn through the summer puts a lot of stress on your lawn. Fall and winter applications help repair your lawn from this stress.
Dormancy doesn't mean your lawn is dead; fall and winter applications give your grass plants food for the winter.
Fall fertilizer is a major component to spring growth and curb appeal.
If you're seeding, fall fertilizer helps support the root development of the new grass plants.

A full seasonal program is going to keep your lawn looking its best because it is healthier and stronger all year long. Give us a call or text at 502-499-7841 or contact us to get your instant estimate TODAY!

Major Landscape Clean-up and Trimming in Highview, KY

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 16:00:20 GMT

At WLS, we believe every home deserves to shine and the landscape is an integral part of showcasing your home's natural beauty. Recently, we worked on a property for our long-time customer in Highview, KY where the front shrubs and trees had become overgrown and were hiding the home’s features.

The challenge for this particular property included overgrown shrubs blocking walkways and windows, extra foliage crowding the foundation beds, and a general need for reshaping and refreshing the landscape.

Our solution was to carefully trim and shape the hedges and shrubs surrounding the home, clearing out excess growth to open up the entryway, hauling away all the debris from the trimming, and cleaning up the landscape beds to prep for mulch. (Stay tuned for part 2!)

The Results:

The transformation speaks for itself — the property now looks fresh, inviting, and well cared for. Trimming and seasonal clean-ups like this not only enhance curb appeal but also promote healthy plant growth and reduce long-term maintenance issues.

Whether your landscape needs a total reset or you just need to freshen up your existing landscape, put our 46 years serving Louisville and surrounding areas with their lawn and landscape needs to work for you! Call or text us at 502-499-7841 or contact us today to schedule your consultation and service.

Fall Trimming in the Highview area of Louisville, KY

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 16:00:17 GMT

Our customer in the Highview area called to get the shrubs around their home trimmed. We trimmed and shaped the hedges in the front of the house below the window sill which maximized the amount of natural sunlight being let into the home. This is especially important during the cooler weather to allow maximum airflow when the windows are open and naturally provide heat to the home's interior.

Our team trimmed the ornamental trees on both ends of the house, trimmed and shaped the hedges around the sides and back, and cleaned off the fence line.

Regular trimming provides instant curb appeal improvement, but it also keeps your plants healthy, encourages strong spring growth, and prevents overgrowth from blocking windows and walkways and potentially damaging your house.

Whether your shrubs are ready for their fall trimming, you want to spruce up the overall shape and curb appeal of your landscape, or you're looking for a total landscape renovation, call or text us at 502-499-7841 or contact us to schedule your one-on-one consultation with WLS.

Find a Landscaper in Louisville, KY: Top Tips to Know

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 12:15:53 GMT

Your outdoor space is more than grass and shrubs—it’s an extension of your home. When you find a landscaper in Louisville, KY, you’re not just hiring someone to mow the lawn. You’re selecting a professional who can enhance your property’s beauty, functionality, and long-term value.

A well-kept yard can boost curb appeal instantly. Neighbors notice when a property looks polished, and guests feel welcome before they even reach the door. In addition, landscaping influences property value. A thoughtfully designed landscape can increase your home’s market worth by thousands of dollars. Contact us today to begin shaping an outdoor area that works for you year-round.

Choosing the right landscaper isn’t about convenience alone—it’s about creating a partnership with someone who understands your vision and knows how to bring it to life.

Qualities to Look for in a Professional Landscaper

When you’re ready to find a landscaper in Louisville, KY, focus on qualities that reflect professionalism and consistency. A good landscaper is more than someone with equipment—they’re a trusted advisor for your outdoor space.

Key Traits of a Reliable Landscaper

Experience Matters: Years of service provide confidence that the landscaper has handled different yards, layouts, and challenges.
Strong Communication: A responsive landscaper answers questions quickly and keeps you updated on scheduling and progress.
Proven Portfolio: Before-and-after project photos show what the team can achieve.
Service Range: A full-service landscaper offers maintenance, installation, and design solutions.
Reputation for Reliability: Consistency in customer reviews tells you the landscaper delivers results over time.

When you hire someone with these traits, you’re not taking chances—you’re building a partnership designed to succeed.

The Value of Hiring a Local Landscaper

Choosing a local landscaper in Louisville, KY, brings unique benefits. Unlike national chains or out-of-town contractors, local landscapers know the soil types, weather shifts, and plant varieties that thrive here.

Louisville’s climate brings hot summers, rainy springs, and chilly winters. A local expert understands how these conditions affect your lawn and garden. They’ll recommend grass types, trees, and shrubs that stay healthy despite weather swings. They can also design seasonal maintenance schedules to keep your yard vibrant year-round.

Another advantage is accessibility. Local landscapers are nearby, which means faster service, emergency solutions, and easier communication. You’re not waiting weeks for help—you have a trusted partner right in your community.

Step 2: Ask for References

Reliable landscapers should share references or testimonials from happy customers. A few quick calls can confirm trustworthiness.

Step 3: Compare Services and Costs

Look beyond price tags. The cheapest option may cut corners, while the best value usually balances cost with quality and results .

Step 4: Assess Communica tion

If a landscaper is hard to reach during the quoting stage, expect similar struggles later. Choose someone who listens and responds clearly.

These steps help you move from dozens of options to the one professional best suited to your goals.

Protecting Your AC Unit with a Retaining Wall in jeffersontown, KY

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 16:00:01 GMT

Your air conditioning unit works hard to keep your home cool and comfortable through Kentucky’s hot summers. The truth is, many homeowners don’t realize that soil erosion, water runoff, and shifting ground can put their outdoor unit at risk. Over time, these issues can cause debris buildup, water damage, or even impact how efficiently your system runs. The good news? A simple landscaping solution can make all the difference: a retaining wall.

Why Build a Retaining Wall Around Your AC Unit?

A well-designed retaining wall does more than add some curb appeal to an otherwise plain area; it provides critical protection for one of your home’s most important systems. Here are some key benefits:

Prevents soil and debris buildup – Keeps dirt, mulch, and grass clippings from washing toward your AC unit.
Redirects water flow – Helps move rainwater away from the unit, reducing the risk of rust and costly repairs.
Boosts curb appeal – Transforms a purely functional space into an attractive, integrated part of your landscape.
Minimizes clogs and damage – Less debris means fewer chances of blockages that can strain or damage the unit.

Your AC system is a major investment in your home’s comfort. Adding a retaining wall is a smart way to extend its lifespan, prevent costly issues, and improve your outdoor space’s appearance. It’s a win-win solution that combines function with aesthetics. Call or text 502-499-7841 or contact us to schedule your consultation!

How many grass plants are in your lawn?

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 14:54:15 GMT

There are thousands of individual blades of grass in one square foot of your lawn and there can be up to hundreds of thousands (or more) in your lawn!

Fall is a very important time of year in the Louisville area to give your lawn the support it needs to thrive through the winter and flourish in the spring. Here are our top 3 recommendations for taking care of your lawn from fall through winter:

Aeration

Also called core aeration relieves soil compaction from the dense, clay soils in our area which allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots. This strengthens the root system - making your grass plants healthier and stronger to help naturally fight weeds.

Seeding

Seeding helps increase the density of your lawn which leads to a more lush, green lawn next spring; it fills in thinning or bare spots and replaces the old or damaged grass plants in your lawn due to age, stress, or disease issues. We use a Certified seed that is a blend of three Tall Fescue grass types including drought tolerant and shade tolerant varieties to ensure you’re getting desirable, weed free seed.

Fall Fertilizer

The last three applications of our annual fertilization and weed control program focus on providing the micronutrients your grass plants need to feed its roots throughout winter to start spring strong.

Give our team a call or text at 502-499-7841 or fill out our service request form for an estimate on any or all of these fall services to help your lawn be its best!

Drain Pipe Replacement and Pop Up Installation in Fern Creek, KY

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:00:05 GMT

Pooling water in your yard might seem like a small nuisance, but it can signal a much bigger problem.

In many cases, standing water around your home is caused by old, cracked, or blocked drain pipes. When your downspouts can’t properly move water away from your house, it can damage your lawn, stress your foundation, and in severe cases, even cause water to leak inside your home.

We had a customer in the Fern Creek, KY area who reached out with this exact issue. As you can see in the photos their drain pipe was blocked, very worn, and frankly needed replaced.

We replaced the old – very well worn – drain pipe, buried the new pipe away from the house, and installed a pop to help manage high water flow. Once we finished the installation, we seeded around the disturbed areas to restore the lawn and ensure a seamless look.

Now this homeowner has a dry lawn and a better protected foundation. If you’re noticing water pooling near your drain spouts at your home in Louisville, KY – don’t wait for it to cause more damage. Call or text us at 502-499-7841 for your estimate and get on our schedule ASAP!

Back deck and patio landscape renovation in Louisville, KY

Mon, 08 Sep 2025 16:00:05 GMT

Our team recently had the pleasure of working with a homeowner in the Glenmary area of Louisville, KY who wanted to refresh and elevate the landscaping around their back deck and patio.

We began by removing overgrown shrubs and aging timber borders beneath the deck. In their place, we installed Bedford Tumbled blocks, creating clean, durable edging from the curbing to the sidewalk and at the base of the steps.

We planted a mix of vibrant shrubs including Summer Crush Hydrangeas, Endless Summer Hydrangeas, and Purple Palace Coral Bells to add vibrant color through summer and fall. Once the new plantings were in place, we finished the space with a layer of fresh Solite gravel, giving the landscape beds a crisp, polished look.

The transformation not only refreshed the area but also enhanced the overall beauty of the deck and patio, creating a welcoming outdoor space the homeowner can enjoy for years to come.

How do you know if you have grub worm damage?

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 16:00:03 GMT

We've been seeing an increase in brown spots that look dead in lawns around the Louisville area. It could be several different things - but one of those is a grub worm infestation.

How do you know if it is grub worms?

The easiest way to tell if it is grub worm - or damage caused by grub worms - is to go out to your lawn and tug on the brown/dead areas. If it pulls up easily like a carpet, you've got a grub worm problem. You may even see the small, white worms or have areas that feel "spongy" because of the grub worm damage.

Grubworms feed on grass plants’ roots, destroying your lawn from below; this is why the grass pulls up easily when there is a grub worm problem.

Why Treatment Matters:

Grubs can cause severe damage in a short amount of time. You want to mitigate the damage as soon as possible to reduce the damage to your lawn.We recommend scheduling a treatment immediately after detection of grub worms and potentially fall seeding to help reestablish your lawn in the areas that are dead.

The earlier you treat a grub worm problem - the better off your lawn will be long term. Call us today to schedule your grub worm application at 502-499-7841 or fill out our service request form to get your treatment scheduled!

Why Seeding Is Critical For Your Lawn in Louisville, KY

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 16:00:03 GMT

Did you know that your lawn is made up of 1000s of individual grass plants?

Seeding is one of the most important things you can do for your lawn’s overall health, appearance, and ability to naturally fight weeds.

Seeding increases the total number of healthy grass plants in your lawn which boosts density. Achieving an ideal density helps to naturally suppress weeds because there isn’t space for them to establish.

We use a Certified Tall Fescue Premium seed that is a blend of three different types of Fescue including shade tolerant and drought tolerant varieties and is guaranteed to be 0% weed seeds.

We recommend seeding in the fall because the soil is still warm from months of summer but cool-season grass seed germinates best when soil temperatures reach 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.This combination of warm soil, moderate daytime temperatures and cool evenings encourages fast germination and establishment of newly sown cool-season grass seed.

Call or text 502-499-7841 or contact us to schedule your fall seeding!

Fence Line and Landscape Clean Up in Brownsboro, KY

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 16:00:00 GMT

Each year this customer in the Indian Hills area reaches out to complete their annual fence line clean up. The back wall along the driveway and the fence line between their house and the neighbor was overgrown, impeding parking to the garage and in the driveway itself, and was an overall eye sore for the homeowner.

After a full cleanup, their driveway area looks bigger, cleaner, and more polished—and the fence is finally visible again!

Why Fence Line Cleanups Matter:

✔️ Prevents invasive plants from damaging your fence

✔️ Reduces pest habitats (like snakes, ticks, and rodents)

✔️ Improves curb appeal and property value

✔️ Makes future maintenance easier and less time-consuming

Regular cleanups not only make your yard look great—they protect your investment in fencing and your landscaping. We recommend a spring and fall clean up to maintain the overall curb appeal of your property. Call us today at (502) 499‑7841 to schedule your fence line or general landscape clean up !!

Landscape Lighting Designer in Louisville, KY

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 04:19:19 GMT

Your home’s exterior should shine just as bright at night as it does during the day. That’s where a professional landscape lighting designer in Louisville, KY, comes in. Contact us today at (502) 499-7841 to schedule your consultation and discover how Wayne’s Lawn Service can elevate your property’s appeal, safety, and functionality after sunset.

A professional landscape lighting designer brings creative vision, technical expertise, and local insight that DIY efforts can’t match. From understanding the best fixtures to where each light should go for maximum impact, professionals deliver custom lighting solutions tailored specifically to your outdoor space.

The DIY Dilemma—Why Hiring a Designer Is Worth It

While installing a few solar lights might seem easy, achieving balanced, beautiful, and functional lighting takes more than guesswork. DIY installations often result in uneven lighting, wasted energy, or even exposed wires and unsafe setups. A certified landscape lighting designer in Louisville, KY, ensures safe installation, aesthetic balance, and long-term durability—something you just can’t get from a big-box lighting kit.

The Benefits of LED Landscape Lighting in Louisville, KY

At Wayne’s Lawn Service, we specialize in LED landscape lighting in Louisville, KY, that’s as energy-efficient as it is stunning. LED lights last significantly longer than traditional bulbs, consuming less power and reducing maintenance. They emit less heat, are available in various color temperatures, and provide sharp clarity—perfect for illuminating walkways, garden features, patios, and entryways.

Energy Efficiency and Savings

Switching to LED fixtures means using up to 80% less electricity. This translates into significant savings on your energy bills—especially if you like to leave your landscape lights on all night. Combined with smart timers and motion sensors, your outdoor lighting setup becomes even more cost-efficient.

Long-Lasting Illumination

Unlike halogen bulbs, LED lights have a much longer lifespan—up to 50,000 hours in some cases. This is ideal for LED landscape lighting in Louisville, KY , where seasonal weather shifts can cause frequent wear and tear on lower-quality lighting systems.

Real Examples of Landscape Lighting in Louisville Homes

Wayne’s Lawn Service has transformed properties all across the city. One client in the Highlands wanted to boost curb appeal after dark. Our landscape lighting designer in Louisville, KY, used warm-toned LED uplights to showcase their historic oak tree and flagstone walkway, adding both drama and safety.

Another homeowner in St. Matthews sought better backyard visibility for evening gatherings. We installed soft perimeter lighting and subtle step lights leading to their outdoor kitchen. The result? A cozy, functional space that feels like an extension of their indoor living area.

Seasonal Appeal: Lighting That Changes with the Year

Your outdoor space isn’t static, and neither should your lighting be. Seasonal landscape lighting brings added magic to your property—whether it's twinkling holiday lights, a cozy autumn glow, or a warm ambiance for summer evenings. Learn more about our lighting options now.

Fall and Winter Advantages

As days get shorter in fall and winter, having quality LED landscape lighting in Louisville, KY, adds both safety and charm. Properly illuminated paths reduce slips and falls while highlighting seasonal landscaping details like mums, pumpkins, or festive décor.

Boosting Safety with Custom Landscape Lighting

Beyond aesthetics, lighting improves security. Dark corners, unlit walkways, and hidden entrances are magnets for accidents and unwelcome visitors. A landscape lighting designer in Louisville, KY, from Wayne’s Lawn Service will help identify high-risk areas and install lighting that enhances both beauty and peace of mind.

Why you can’t put lawn care on hold in the summer

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 16:00:03 GMT

As summer warms up, many homeowners assume lawn care takes a backseat until spring. But, if you want a healthy, green, weed-free lawn year-round, summer and fall are important times to stay on a professional fertilization and weed control program.

Weeds don't take a season off and neither should your lawn program.

The WLS seasonal program includes :

��Science backed solutions

��Just in time applications all year long

✅Mixture of pre-emergent, broadleaf weed control, fertilization, liquid, and granular products

��WLS' A+ Rated Customer Service

All of our applicators are licensed by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and have the experience to complete applications correctly, monitor your lawn for disease or fungus issues, and answer questions you have about your lawn's overall health and appearance.

If you are not happy with your lawn or are tired of trying to figure it out yourself, get a quote in minutes from WLS. Give us a call or text at 502-499-7841 or fill out our service request form to get started today!

Seeding in Louisville, KY

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 16:00:04 GMT

Why seed your lawn in the fall in Louisville, KY?

✔️ Cooler temps + warm soil = perfect conditions for grass seed to take root

✔️ Less competition from weeds means better results

✔️ More time to establish before next summer’s heat

✔️ Stronger natural defense against weeds

There are three great options for your lawn depending on its overall health.

1. Total Lawn Renovation :

If you’re trying to fight invasive grasses like Bermuda or Crabgrass, we recommend total kill out as the best method of eradicating Bermuda and Crabgrass followed up with power seeding. We recommend total lawn renovations beginning in August because of the time between kill outs and power seeding.

2. Power seeding :

If your lawn is thinning, has bare spots, or is overrun with weeds and undesirable grasses, power seeding is the best choice. The process of power seeding - also known as slit seeding - is completed with a machine that cuts a slit into the lawn and deposits seed at the same time. This provides simultaneous aeration, dethatching, and seeding.

After power seeding your lawn, we will broadcast seed along the edges, and apply a new lawn starter fertilizer that provides the micronutrients your lawn needs to promote root development.

3. Aeration and Broadcast Seeding

In the Louisville area many of our homes and businesses are battling heavy, dense, clay soil. This is why we recommend aeration and broadcast seeding for lawns that are generally healthy. The aeration machine pulls 2-3 inch plugs or “cores” from the lawn. This aids in reducing compaction in the soil to promote the flow of oxygen, micronutrients, and water to the roots of the lawn. Combining aeration with broadcast seeding boosts turf density and increases the number of healthy grass plants in your lawn.

Seeding now sets your lawn up for long-term success and is one of the best ways to naturally prevent weeds by boosting density. We only have a short window each fall for seeding — and our schedule fills up fast. Put our 46 years of experience to work for you this season.

Call or text (502) 499‑7841 or contact us today to reserve your spot and give your lawn the support it needs to look great and be healthy now and in the spring!

Grading and Sewer Line Repair near Brownsboro Rd in Louisville, KY

Mon, 14 Jul 2025 05:00:07 GMT

We get a lot of calls to repair lawns in Louisville, KY after sewer work has been completed. We typically recommend waiting 3 - 6 months after most sewer line repairs to begin fixing your lawn.

Why?

It takes time for the ground to settle and if you try to fix it right away you will create a “bowl” in your lawn. If you still want to start to fix it right away, we can but it will most likely require a return visit about 3 months later to re-level the area.

When the time is right we will grade the area, add or remove top soil as needed, seed the area with Certified seed, and add straw. It takes the right materials, patience, and a lot of watering, but trust in the process!

In the meantime, we recommend starting with our fertilization and weed control program to control the weed growth in the area to give yourself a better environment to grow new grass.

Call or text us at 502-499-7841 or contact us to speak with one of our team members about your grading and lawn repair today.

No filaments or fragile components; just reliable, long-lasting light.

Advanced technology prevents flickering and dimming over time.

In 1979, as a young man, Wayne asked his father - J.J. Volz Sr. - for a bicycle. So his Dad bought him a 22” push mower, electric weed-eater, and push broom so that Wayne could earn the money he needed to buy myself the bike.

In June of 1987, Wayne made this business his full time job. Since then it has been a small, family owned business located in Buechel in Louisville, KY that grew from 9 accounts to being recognized as a Top 10 Small Business in the nation by Landscape Management Magazine, Best of Kentuckiana, and voted Neighborhood Favorite by Nextdoor users. We are also an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating.

Aeration and Seeding in Louisville, KY

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 19:03:48 GMT

Did you know that a strong spring lawn actually starts now? Our area has a lot of dense, clay soil which can make it tough for water, nutrients, and oxygen - the essentials for plant health - to get to the roots of your grass plants. Aeration pulls “plugs” or “cores” out of the lawn to help reduce compaction and improve the flow to the roots. Followed up with broadcast seeding - or overseeding as it is often called - and you have a great combination of services to help your lawn thrive and naturally prevent weeds in the future .

The best weed prevention strategy is to eliminate thin areas where the weeds can compete for space. If your lawn has good density and a consistent fertilization and weed control program, you’re going to see good results.

If you haven’t aerated or seeded within the past few years - it is probably time! Grass plants life span is about 7 - 10 years so regular replenishment is important. Contact us today to schedule your aeration and seeding before the window for this season closes.
