Complete lawn renovation is more than a quick fix—it’s a full reset when your yard just isn’t bouncing back.

If you’ve been watering, mowing, seeding, and still seeing more weeds than grass… it’s time to take a closer look. Here are five clear signs you need a full lawn reset—and what to do next.

1. You’ve Got Bare Patches That Won’t Go Away

You reseed.

It looks okay for a while.

Then… the bare spots come back.

This usually means the soil underneath isn’t supporting new growth—maybe it’s too compacted, poorly drained, or lacking nutrients.

We fix the problem at the root, literally. Our complete lawn renovation process starts with deep core aeration, overseeding, and compost topdressing to restore a healthy foundation.

2. Weeds Are Taking Over

If you’re pulling dandelions every week and crabgrass is spreading fast, it’s not just a surface issue.

Weeds thrive when your lawn is stressed. That means your grass isn’t dense or strong enough to crowd them out.

Instead of using more weed killer, we focus on rebuilding your lawn from the ground up. Renovation helps establish thick, healthy turf that naturally suppresses weeds over time.

3. Your Grass Looks Thin and Weak

Even with watering and fertilizer, your lawn still looks… tired.

That’s a sign the soil might not be holding nutrients well—or that you’re dealing with the wrong grass type for your property.

We help you start fresh with the right seed mix for your lawn’s conditions—whether you’ve got sun, shade, poor drainage, or clay soil. And we make sure your lawn is ready to support it with the proper prep and aftercare.

4. The Lawn Feels Uneven or Bumpy

If mowing feels like riding a rollercoaster—or your kids keep tripping on lumps in the grass—you might need more than just a rake and a bag of seed.

Uneven terrain happens over time from settling, thatch buildup, or old lawn repairs.

During a complete lawn renovation, we smooth out the surface and apply compost-based soil amendments so your lawn grows flat, level, and firm.

5. Water Isn’t Draining Right

Still seeing puddles days after it rains?

Poor drainage doesn’t just look bad—it leads to root rot, mold, and muddy messes that kill grass over time.

We tackle this during the renovation process by aerating deeply, applying compost that improves soil structure, and making minor grading corrections if needed.

Your lawn should absorb water like a sponge, not turn into a swamp.

What a Complete Lawn Renovation Actually Includes

You might be wondering what really goes into a full renovation.

Here’s a breakdown of what we do:

• Core aeration to loosen compacted soil and allow roots to breathe
• Overseeding with custom grass blends based on your lawn’s sunlight, slope, and soi
• Leveling and minor grading where needed to smooth out bumps and dips
• Seasonal timing—we schedule your renovation during the best growing windows for Rhode Island lawns (spring or early fall)

Considering Sod Installation as a Renovation Option

Sometimes, starting over with seed isn’t fast enough—especially if your lawn is beyond repair or you need instant results.

That’s where sod installation comes in.

Sod gives you a mature, green lawn almost instantly. It’s a great option if:

• Your lawn is mostly bare or severely damaged
• You’re on a tight timeline (e.g. selling your home, hosting an event)
• You want a uniform, weed-free lawn from day one

We prep the soil the same way—through grading, composting, and leveling—then install premium sod that takes root quickly and grows strong with the right care.

Why You’ll Love the Results

Here’s what you get when your renovation is done right:

• Thick, green grass that grows evenly across your yard
• Fewer weeds, less mud, and no more bare spots
• A yard that looks amazing from the curb
• Less frustration—and fewer products to buy every month
• A healthier lawn that stands up to pets, kids, and Rhode Island weather
