Some of the features Solterra designers included to make this landscape accessible to both homeowners: 

• Expanding the pool deck to allow enough room for a wheelchair to maneuver;
• Building a fire pit with seating, open at the front for wheelchair access;
• Adding wide, natural-looking flagstone paths at the perimeter and across key areas of the lawn;
• Creating a raised planting wall that can be accessed while seated in a wheelchair -- the perfect height for planting, weeding, and harvesting herbs.   

• Loosens compacted soil and increases the availability of water and nutrients.
• Enhances oxygen levels in the soil, stimulating root growth and enhancing the activity of thatch-decomposing organisms.
• While removing cores of soil, the spoons or tines also sever roots, rhizomes and stolons. Grass plants are stimulated to produce new shoots and roots that "fill up" the holes in the lawn and increase the density of the turf.
• Reduces water runoff.
• Increases the lawn's drought tolerance and improves its overall health.

Solterra is offering an additional service to help improve the performance of fescue. After spreading the seed, we apply "top dressing" -- a rich organic compost over the seeded lawn. 

The most important aspect of a healthy lawn is organic activity in the soil. Top dressing creates an active, healthy soil as earthworms and other organisms carry the compost down to the root zone of the lawn. Also, compost top dressing has been shown to create significant and measurable resistance to disease in lawn grass.

It is our desire to help you have the best looking lawn possible. Contact Jason to schedule aeration, overseeding and top dressing for your fescue lawn.  jason@solterralandscape.com
