How many grass plants are in your lawn?

September 17, 2025

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: 

Lawn aeration illustration: Grass before, aerated with oxygen, water, and nutrients, then after, with healthy roots.

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 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.

When dealing with a sloped landscape, finding the right balance between functional structural support and visual appeal is key. For a recent project in Mt. Washington, KY, our team was tasked with stabilizing an eroded, sloping area and creating a clean, finished look for the home’s exterior. Retaining wall construction requires the proper base first to ensure the integrity and longevity of the wall. We prepped the base area and levelled the proper drainage stone to carefully create this retaining wall. The finished wall creates a beautiful structure while providing the much needed support as well. Whether you want to build a wall extension, a landscape feature, or anything else requiring pavers or retaining walls, give us a call today to schedule your project at 502-499-7841 or simply request service here  today!

Having handled snow and ice management for Pearson’s Funeral Home in St. Matthews, KY for many years, we were thrilled when they recently reached out to us to renovate the main entrance sign area. A commercial property’s exterior sets the tone for every visitor who arrives. For Pearson's Funeral Home, creating a warm, peaceful, and welcoming environment is especially important. We removed all of the outdated and overgrown shrubs around the sign and prepped for the new installation while keeping the two mature shrubs on either side of the sign that created a nice frame for the space. We installed a variety of plants and shrubs including Nandinas, Bobo Hydrangeas, Daylillies, Salvias, Liriope, Coneflowers, and Daisies for a variety of heights, colors, and blooms. We installed Grade “A” Cedar mulch and the transformation was stunning. Even an employee came out before our crew left to share how beautiful he thought the landscaping was after installation. Your business’s entrance and street facing landscaping should make the right statement. WLS offers full service commercial property maintenance for businesses throughout the Louisville areas. Schedule your consultation to see how we can serve your business’s needs by calling or texting us today at 502-499-7841 simply request service here today!
