Lawn Renovation in Boise

When your Idaho lawn is more weeds than grass, thin and patchy, or simply failing despite your best efforts, complete lawn renovation is the transformative solution you need. Our comprehensive renovation service completely rebuilds your lawn from the ground up without the massive expense and disruption of full sod replacement. This intensive, multi-step process transforms failing lawns into thick, lush carpets of healthy grass in just 6-8 weeks for a fraction of sod installation costs.

The renovation process begins with aggressive power raking (dethatching) that removes most of the existing poor-quality turf, thatch accumulation, and embedded weed growth - essentially creating a fresh slate for new grass establishment. We then perform multiple passes of core aeration to relieve the severe soil compaction common in Idaho's clay-based soils, creating thousands of perfect germination pockets for grass seed. Premium grass seed specifically selected for Treasure Valley climate conditions is broadcast at heavy renovation rates (8-10 pounds per 1,000 square feet - triple the normal overseeding rate) to ensure thick, dense coverage.

The seed blend typically includes Kentucky bluegrass for durability and self-repair, turf-type tall fescue for drought resistance and heat tolerance, and perennial ryegrass for quick germination and establishment. Professional-grade starter fertilizer with high phosphorus content is applied to promote explosive root development, while compost top-dressing (1/4 inch layer) improves soil structure, moisture retention, and provides slow-release nutrients throughout the growing season. This soil amendment is particularly beneficial in Idaho where heavy clay soils often lack organic matter and proper drainage.
