What’s the difference between hardscapes and softscapes?

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

How does aeration improve my lawn’s health?

Aeration gives your lawn room to grow and space to breathe—literally. 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.

My lawn is thatched and patchy. Can you improve its appearance?

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 ER 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.
