How do you prepare the soil before installation?
We remove existing vegetation, till to 6-inch depth, add compost amendments, and grade to proper drainage slopes. Soil testing helps determine if lime or fertilizer additions are needed for optimal growth.

What type of grass works best in Glen Allen?
We typically install tall fescue for full sun areas and fine fescue blends for shade, both suited to Virginia's climate. These varieties handle summer heat and winter cold while requiring moderate water and maintenance.
