A quality lawn starts with a proper grade from a grading contractor. 

Most lots will require a topsoil covering of at least 3 to 6 inches for the establishment of a healthy lawn.  Adequate soil will allow for proper root development and reduce watering requirements throughout the growing season.  After Bobs Grading establishes your perfect grade its time to seed or sod your yard.  

Bobs Grading tailors a seed and fertilizer blend to match the conditions of your soil and the time of year it is installed.  We cover the seed with a straw covering mulch when seeding during the summer months.  We can chop and blow the straw covering or roll out straw erosion control blankets to protect the new seed.

For spring and falls seeding projects we can replace the straw covering with a product called Pam-12 plus.

ENCAP’s PAM-12® Plus is a temporary soil stabilizer that can be used to reduce the erodibility of soils and improve the establishment of vegetation. 

The highly engineered paper granules are made from recycled paper and act as a visible tracer and a delivery system for ENCAP’s Advanced Soil Technology™ polymers (AST®). PAM-12® Plus is a versatile product that can be dry applied using broadcast spreaders. 

PAM-12® Plus can be applied as a stand-alone product or in combination with straw. 

ENCAP’s Advanced Soil Technology (AST®) is a proprietary blend of biodegradable polymers that act as soil stabilizers when activated by moisture. AST® is an effective stabilizer across a broad range of soil types.

When is the best time to seed in the Milwaukee Waukesha area?

The optimal time for lawn seeding in Wisconsin is rather short. April, through June and Mid August to Mid October is the prime seeding months.

Although Bobs Grading installs lawns all summer mid summer seeding is not recommended for large areas as blue grass is a cool season plant.
