A softscape is all the natural, organic materials used to create a landscape. Grass, plants, flowers, and trees are all parts of softscaping.

Hardscapes, on the other hand, are the constructed environmental features. These include structures made of concrete, wood, or other materials. Walkways, patios, and driveways are some of the most common hardscaped elements.

Fresh sod needs ample watering to establish strong roots. For the first two weeks, water your lawn four to six times a day for about five minutes. The soil underneath should never be soggy, so adjust accordingly. You should also stay off the sod.

After two weeks, you should mow the lawn for the first time. By then, the sod will have developed sufficient roots to need less watering and maintenance.

Aeration gives your lawn room to grow and space to breathe. It reduces soil compaction, creating small pockets within the soil so that oxygen can flow to the roots of the grass. In the process, it increases nutrient uptake, allowing your lawn to grow stronger, lusher, and more resilient.

Thatch – the layer of organic matter that accumulates on a lawn – can cause root problems and patchiness if left untreated. For such issues, the best approach is a systematic one. At Allen & Son Lawn Service, we start by aerating the lawn to increase oxygen and nutrition intake. From there, we use a range of strategies to thicken the lawn, including re-seeding, dethatching, and adding topsoil.
