OVERSEEDING
Improve the overall health and appearance of your lawn. A lawn aerator removes soil plugs from your lawn allowing compacted soil to expand into the empty spaces as the grass grows. A typical pattern involves removing 1/2 inch diameter plugs every 2-6 inches across your lawn. A good sized plug is 3-6 inches long. The dimensions of aeration plugs depend mostly on the type of soil you have and how compacted it has become. Overseeding involves planting a new layer of grass seed on top of existing turf, which can help fill any bare spots or thinning areas. It also increases the overall density and diversity of your lawn’s grass species, making it more resistant to disease and drought.
One of the single best things you can do to improve the overall health and appearance of your lawn is core aeration and overseeding. The main benefit of performing this procedure is to alleviate soil compaction, a common problem due to the high clay content of our regional native soil.
Soil compaction is a major cause of turf decline because it impedes turf root growth and development. This results in lawn thinning and deterioration and the promotion of weed growth.
Core aeration will improve the health and appearance of your lawn by:
- Improving turf root growth and development.
- Increasing soil microbial activity to help decompose thatch.
- Increasing water, nutrients, and oxygen availability to the turf roots to give it a competitive advantage over weeds
Overseeding is an important part of lawn care that helps to keep your grass looking lush and healthy.
- Improve any bare spots or thinning areas.
- Increases the overall density and diversity.
- Helps improve the lawns resistant to disease and drought.
A healthy lawn starts with a healthy root system, we recommend annual aeration & overseeding for best turf results.
