Some Norfolk yards are hard on grass — glacial sand sitting just under the topsoil, big white oaks taking the light and the water both, and one bare patch that widens a little more each August. Yard Restoration LLC works on those: mowing at a height that helps instead of hurts, raking the thatch mat out, overseeding the thin ground, edging and mulching so the beds stop bleeding into the lawn. Debris comes off twice a year, once when the snow finally leaves and once when the oaks let go. It is slow, honest improvement, and you notice it more in the second season than the first. A yard that had given up, green again all the way to the fence line, is worth the wait.
