How we can help
We focus on the work that makes the biggest difference to how a yard looks and how long it stays that way.
Why our lawns last
Near the coast, soil can be sandy and low in nutrients, which means water and fertilizer disappear fast. Building it up properly is what separates a lawn that thrives from one that struggles. Here’s our full process.
Our go-to amendment is composted horse manure, applied generously, to feed your lawn naturally instead of leaning on quick chemical fertilizer.
Including the roots, so they don’t come back through your new lawn.
With a pick axe first, so the tiller can reach real depth.
Loosens and aerates compacted LA soil.
Real organic matter, not a light dusting.
Compost mixed through the whole root zone, where it does the work.
Before the lawn goes down, while everything is still accessible.
Then we tell you exactly how to water it for the first weeks.
