You glance across the lawn and picture thicker grass, richer color, and bare spots erased. That vision is well within reach—especially during St. Louis’s fall renovation window, when cooler temperatures and warm soil make success practically built-in. With Dowco’s Fall Lawn Renovation Program, transforming that vision into fresh turf is easier, faster, and far more reliable than a collection of weekend DIY experiments.
What the Renovation Program Includes
-
Double Aeration
Clay soils dominate the St. Louis area, and they harden into a nearly impenetrable surface. Double aeration pulls thousands of 1½–3-inch cores in two criss-cross passes, opening channels for water, oxygen, and nutrients. Immediate advantages:
• Looser soil and fewer compaction problems
• Thinner thatch layer
• Deeper, healthier roots
• Perfect seed-bed pockets -
Overseeding with Premium Tall Fescue Blend
Mature grass eventually plateaus, and everyday traffic, pets, and summer heat take their toll. Dowco applies a top-quality tall-fescue blend that excels in sun and shade, resists drought and disease, and keeps its green color early in spring. Overseeding…
• Fills bare or thin patches
• Thickens turf to crowd out weeds
• Boosts color and texture -
Seed Starter Mulch
Forget loose straw. Biodegradable paper pellets blanket new seed, locking in moisture, deterring birds, and leaving no cleanup. As the gray pellets fade to almost white, you know they’ve done their job and watering can wind down. -
Seed-Germination Fertilizer
A tailored nutrient boost accelerates root formation and preps seedlings for winter. The result: stronger, more resilient grass right from the start.
Why Autumn Works Better Than Spring
• Warm soil and cool air create ideal germination conditions.
• Fall rainfall reduces manual watering.
• Weeds and turf diseases are less aggressive, letting new grass flourish.
• Spring pre-emergents don’t interfere with fall seed.
What to Expect
Visible improvement appears in as little as 14–21 days; Dowco guarantees it. Meanwhile, scheduling takes less than two minutes online. You don’t have to be home, and you’ll receive confirmations plus reminders—complete with mowing and watering tips—to keep everything on track.
Quick Pre-Service Checklist
- Mow to roughly 3 inches a day or two beforehand.
- Flag sprinklers, shallow cables, or pet fences.
- Mark any new landscape beds or fresh sod.
- If the ground is extremely dry, a light watering the evening before helps the aerator extract cleaner plugs.
