After Laureen overseeded our lawn, the grass seemed to green up faster than anyone else's. It looked thicker and lusher. I've only had the Eco-yards™ Spray for one year and the grass looks stronger and greener - I'm going to continue the service. — Cindy T.

Eco-yards™ lawn

We recommend having a minimal amount of lawn in your yard - only that which you use for picnics and play. This is because lawn takes the most work of any landscape type to maintain and it is not as good for the environment as beds of flowers, trees, and shrubs or a native planting (e.g. native prairie). These other plantings provide more diversity in the ecosystem, they feed pollinating insects so they can keep pollinating local native plants, and they also soak up more moisture, restoring underground water aquifers.

And there still can be a place for lawn.

We recommend replacing your lawn with hardy, native grasses that require little water and grow low so they don’t even need to be mowed. These grasses grow well here and out-compete weeds.

Overseeding:

We overseed your lawn in the late Fall or early spring with hardy grass seed. Depending on your situation, we may spread compost with the grass seed or use a slit-seeder to place the seed into a groove in your lawn. It will take 2 to 4 applications over 1 to 4 years for the hardy grasses to take over from the previous grass (usually Kentucky Bluegrass). In shady spots, it is usually about 2 applications; sunny spots may take additional applications.

Investment:

The general cost for overseeding a lawn with hardy grass seed (including spreading compost and natural fertilizer) is usually about $500-$1000 for up to 250 square metres (or 2690 square feet) depending on the layout of your yard. Costs may be less if different methods are used. This is the cost per application and it takes usually 2-4 applications (over 1 to 4 years) for the overseeding to take over from the existing grass.
