How We Renovate Lawns: Our Proven Process

At Egan Landscape Group, we follow a step-by-step process that’s customized for each property. Here’s what to expect:

1. Site Evaluation

We assess your lawn’s condition, soil type, drainage, and exposure during our initial estimate appointment. From there, we develop a renovation plan tailored to your goals and the needs of your property. 

2. Aeration

We use specialized equipment to perforate the soil, relieving compaction and creating space for air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone.

3. Topdressing with Loam and Compost

We spread a nutrient-rich blend of loam and compost over the lawn to enhance soil structure, fertility, and microbial activity.

4. Overseeding

We apply high-quality grass seed tailored to your property’s conditions (sun, shade, traffic). This improves turf density and helps outcompete weeds.

5. Sod Installation (If Needed)

For lawns in need of immediate results or complete replacement, we install fresh sod for an instant transformation. 

6. Watering & Care Instructions

Post-renovation, we’ll provide you with simple, easy-to-follow watering and maintenance guidelines to ensure long-term success.

Common Lawn Problems Lawn Renovation Can Solve:

  • Thinning or bare patches in grass
  • Soil compaction from heavy foot traffic or equipment
  • Poor drainage or water pooling
  • Weed dominance or unhealthy turf
  • Post-construction or heavy-use lawn damage

These issues don’t just affect curb appeal—they can also impact property value and safety. That’s why timely and professional intervention is key.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lawn Renovations

How do I know if I need a full renovation or just overseeding?

If your lawn has widespread thinning, heavy thatch, or poor soil health, a full renovation is often the most effective choice. If you only have a few bare patches or seasonal thinning, overseeding alone might do the trick. Still don’t know? Give us a call and we’ll meet you for an estimate appointment!

When is the best time to renovate my lawn in Massachusetts?

Late summer to early fall is ideal for lawn renovation in New England, especially in Massachusetts. The cooler temperatures, combined with autumn rainfall, create perfect conditions for seed germination and root growth.

How long does it take to see results?

For seeding, expect noticeable improvement in 2–4 weeks. Sod installation delivers instant green, with roots fully established within 2–3 weeks of proper watering and care. Every property is different and we can never guarantee growth within a certain time frame. For the best growth outcome, follow the directions from your dedicated account manager.
