D3 AERATION & OVERSEEDING

Aeration and overseeding are imperative for a thick, healthy, weed-free lawn! Suggested frequency is two times per year in the spring and in 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''. 

Allows water to access the root system of the grass more efficiently, 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 healthy lawn.  

Helps decompose thatch. Thatch is that dead grass that chokes out the healthy grass. Usually from cutting the grass too short or not cutting frequently enough.  

Reduces 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

The seed falls into the holes created by the 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.  

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"
