CORE AERATION

Benefits of core aeration:

• Can help make your lawn healthier and reduce its maintenance requirements.
• Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere.
• Enhanced soil water uptake.
• Improved fertilizer uptake and use.
• Reduced water runoff and puddling.
• Stronger turf grass roots.
• Reduced soil compaction.
• Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance.
• Enhanced thatch breakdown.

OVERSEEDING

Overseeding is the planting of grass seed directly into existing turf, without tearing up the turf.  It’s an easy way to fill in bare spots, improve density of the turf, establish improved grass varieties and enhance your lawns color.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO OVERSEED?

Late summer or early fall is the best time to overseed lawns. Soil and atmospheric temperatures are most favorable for optimum seed germination and growth. With adequate moisture, fertilizer and sunlight, the new seedlings will be well established before cooler fall weather sets in. Also, weed competition is less of a factor at this time, giving the grass seedlings a better environment to grow and develop.
