Aeration and Overseeding
It is known that the best way to strengthen a lawn is to thicken it up to encourage a deep,
strong root system. Aeration and Overseeding coupled with a healthy fertilization program is
the best way to achieve these results. As roots move further from the surface they avoid abuse
from the sun's heat. Thickening the lawn will help stop weeds from invading, and allow your beautiful
grass to choke out unwanted species.
We recommend and only perform Core-Aeration, where a machine removes plugs approximately 2-3
inches deep and drops them on the surface. We then seed immediately following. Easing compaction
of the soil allows roots to move deeper and strengthen. The soil to seed contact achieved will
result in germination and thus thicken the lawn. This service can be performed in either Spring
or Fall, depending on the needs of the lawn. Early fall is the best time to have your lawn aerated
and seeded, due to the reduced competition from weeds.
Beginning in August the summer annual weeds that thrive in the heat begin to die naturally.
The nights get cooler and moisture returns, yet soil temperatures are still warm enough for quick
germination. These are perfect conditions for growing grass. We strongly recommend this service,
our results speak for themselves.
