Soil Under Landscape Plants
The condition of the soil under your grass is more important to the overall health of your lawn than any other variable you deal with. Routine care for the soil can do as much toward achieving a truly low maintenance lawn as all the cultural tricks related to caring for the grass itself.

Steps for Patching or Repair
Successful lawn patching requires careful soil preparation, even in a relatively small spot. Replace this soil with good topsoil from another place in the yard or with a bagged commercial topsoil product.

Preparing to Renovate Over Bare Soil
Renovation on bare soil provides a golden opportunity to relieve compaction problems and fill in any uneven or sunken areas of the lawn that are problems. The easiest way is kill all the existing grass and weeds in the lawn with a burndown herbicide such as KleenUpä that kills their roots too.

Planting Sweetgum
Their sensitivity to pollution makes them a dubious choice for many city sites, but they can handle the compacted soil in the average suburban yard, especially where builders have striped away topsoil.

What's Healthy Soil?
Almost half of the volume of a healthy soil is taken up by mineral particles (from pulverized rocks) and flecks of organic material. These particles are bits of humus and other organic material that host microbial life which break them down into plant nutrients as they go about their lifecycles.
