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

July 14, 2025

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.

Now is the ideal time for seeding in the Louisville area because we’re experiencing cooler temperatures, warm soil, and less weed pressure. How do you know if you need to power seed or schedule aeration and broadcast seeding? It depends on your lawn.

The ideal time for seeding lawns in Louisville, KY and surrounding areas is in the fall. The warm soil temperatures, less weed competition, and reduced heat pressure create the best conditions for building the density of your lawn.  Did you know that grass plants live approximately 7-10 years? This means you have to do regular seeding in order to replenish the grass plants in your lawn.
