Aeration & Overseeding
If your lawn is looking thin, bare, or has balding spots, our aeration and overseeding techniques can bring life back to your lawn!
Why You Should Aerate Your Lawn
You may not realize it, but your lawn takes a beating throughout the seasons. Normal day-to-day activities like walking, playing, and mowing contribute to compacting your soil which makes it difficult for vital moisture and nourishment to reach the roots. By removing plugs, core aeration breaks the thatch layer and opens the soil while the turf is actively growing. Therefore, aeration is essential to improve the overall health and development of your turf! Here are common signs of lawn stress:
- Bald, worn, or patchy spots
- Thatch build-up
- Standing water after rain or watering
- Hard soil
- Poor turf performance
Let Us Help Promote a Healthy Lawn
With annual core aeration, your lawn has a better opportunity to perform well. The first step to getting the best results possible is understanding what type of grass you have and whether you need aeration in the spring or fall. Southeast lawns consist of two groups — cool season grasses and warm season grasses. Here’s how it works:
- Cool season aeration: Cool season grasses like Fescue benefit from fall aeration.
- Warm season aeration: Warm season grasses like Zoysia benefit from late spring aeration to help break up compacted soil and allow water and nutrients to get to the roots.
Why You Should Overseed Your Lawn
Cool season grasses, like Fescue, take a beating during the dry, hot summer months! To help revitalize your lawn, it is necessary to aerate and overseed your lawn. If you have irrigation, this activity can start mid-August. With our professional overseeding services, we will fill in bald patches in your yard to help your landscape look thick and vibrant. Our specialized overseeding promotes new growth in your yard, giving you the full, green lawn you’ve always wanted.
