Georgetown Lawn Leveling

Lawn leveling can be done year-round for Bermuda grass, but recovery time varies by season. Spring and summer allow faster recovery due to warmer temperatures and better growing conditions. Fall and winter recovery is slower. Discuss timing with the team for your specific situation.

Yes. Start fertilizing immediately after leveling is complete. Fast-acting starter fertilizers like Scott's Lawn Starter or high-nitrogen options work best to jumpstart recovery. Slow-release fertilizers are not recommended for immediate post-leveling recovery. Reapply every 3-4 weeks for best results.

Wait at least one week before mowing a newly leveled lawn. For reel mowers, consider waiting even longer depending on grass growth. When you do mow, cut 2-3 times per week to help the lawn thicken and spread horizontally.

Core aeration creates holes down into compacted soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots. Clay soil, common in Central Texas, becomes hard and compacted over time, stressing grass and preventing healthy growth. Aeration at a reasonable cost is one of the most overlooked services that helps lawns thrive.

Topdressing with sand or organic materials modifies soil structure, improves drainage, reduces thatch buildup, and acts as a natural fertilizer. It helps smooth bumps from new sod installation and encourages dense, lush growth while reducing lawn stress in clay-heavy Texas soil.

Yes. Georgetown Lawn Leveling scalps the lawn close to the ground (minimum 1 inch) so leveling targets the soil and not the grass. If your lawn is longer, they can provide this service for an additional cost. You should also fertilize a day or two before with high-nitrogen fertilizer to promote fast recovery.
