CORE AERATION & OVERSEEDING

Core aeration and overseeding are imperative for a thick, healthy, weed-free lawn! The suggested frequency is two times per year. The best time to aerate your lawn and overseed is in the spring and the fall.  

Core plug aeration (See photos below) pokes a hole in the lawn approximately 1/2' wide. The length of the plug will depend on several factors including moisture content, length of grass at time of service, and soil compaction. Average plug length ranges from 1''-4''. 

Water after aeration will more efficiently access the root system of the grass, allowing vital nutrients and water to seep into the soil. This will help the lawn establish a healthier root system. This is extremely vital to maintaining a green, luxurious, and healthy lawn.  

Thatch is dead grass that chokes out the healthy grass; usually from cutting the grass too short or not cutting frequently enough. Core aeration is a great form of dethatching, helping lawns to naturally decompose thatch.

The benefits of core aeration also include reduced soil compaction. 

Creates thousands of "germination chambers" for new grass to grow out of.  

Allows fertilizer to work more efficiently.  

Grass seed is applied by a spreader; just one of the many benefits of aerating lawns.

The seed falls into the holes created by the lawn aeration process and grows out of each hole. Grass will also grow on bare spots of the lawn.  

Fills in spots of the lawn that have been damaged by pets and/or insects. 

The grass will grow thicker, making it harder for weeds to grow. You'll notice just how big of a difference there is between before and after aeration.

Sun and/or shade mix available. We will make a decision depending on how much shade your lawn receives.  

Grass seed that we use is specifically formulated for this area and many call it the "Golf Course Mix"
