Fall Lawn Special

Aeration

Core aeration can help make your lawn healthier and reduce its maintenance requirements through these means:

• Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere.
• Enhanced soil water uptake.
• Improved fertilizer uptake and use.
• Reduced water runoff and puddling.
• Stronger turfgrass roots.
• Reduced soil compaction.
• Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance.
• Improved resiliency and cushioning.
• Enhanced thatch breakdown.

Seeding

Benefits to over seeding:

• Easy way to fill in bare spots.
• Improve the density of the lawn.
• Establish improved grass varieties and enhance your lawns color.

Compost

Benefits to topdressing with compost:

• Adds organic matter back into your lawn.
• Reintroduces microorganisms back into the soil.
• Combined with core aeration places new organic material and nutrients deeper into the soil.
• Can amend or modify the soil (adding compost can relieve compaction problems for instance).
• Can reduce the stress on your lawn from foot or vehicle traffic.
• Ensures any grass seed planted has contact with soil, needed to germinate.
• Helps soil retain moisture which is especially helpful when planting new grass or sod.
• Can even out dips or hollow spots in the yard so that grass has equal access to water.
• Can reduce thatch buildup by encouraging decomposition.
