Aeration & Overseed
It's a fact. Aeration is one of the best things you can do for your lawn. Here's why.
Compacted soil and heavy thatch are the two biggest obstacles to a beautiful lawn. They tend to suffocate grass plants by preventing air, water and nutrients from reaching the root zone. This means your lawn looks less than satisfactory in spite of adequate fertilization, water and tender loving care. Aeration opens up the thatch and helps relieve compaction. It should be a regular part of your annual lawn maintenance program.
Aeration is accomplished through the use of a machine equipped with cylinder-like tines and designed to penetrate and shatter the soil. Cores of thatch, soil and grass are actually pulled out of the ground during this process. The plunging action of the tines opens the soil, allows grass plants to breathe, permits better utilization of fertilizer, air and water and promotes a deeper, healthier root system. And good roots are what growing a good lawn is all about!
Major Benefits of Aeration:
- Increases air, water and nutrient movement to the root zone
- Intensifies decomposition of the thatch
- Helps relieve soil compaction
- Stimulates new growth
- Improves drainage
- Provides a better environment for over seeding
- Increases the effectiveness of fertilizers and other lawn care product
Turf Tips To Keep Your Lawn Healthy

Fertilization
Regular applications of fertilizer throughout the growing season builds turf density and keeps weeds from taking over. Key nutrients for established turf are nitrogen and potassium. These two nutrients keep your lawn green, thick and healthy. When over seeding the key nutrient is phosphorous. Phosphorous accelerates grass establishment when seeding.
Proper Watering
Your lawn should receive approximately 1 to 2 inches of water per week during the hottest, driest months. Deep watering to a soil depth of at least six inches is recommended. Light applications of water that merely dampen the grass are of little benefit and can actually harm your lawn.
Watering your lawn in the early morning is ideal. Midday watering, when the weather is hot and dry, can waste water due to excessive evaporation. Evening watering tends to promote disease problems. Keep in mind, the key to effective watering is to give your lawn enough moisture to reach the deep roots of the grass plants.
Mowing Tips
Determining when to mow should be based on the growth rate of the grass, not the calendar. To keep your lawn looking its best, remove only about one-third of the leaf blade each time you mow. Another good practice is to change direction with each mowing. This keeps the turf growing in an erect, upright position rather than leaning in the direction it was mowed. It also helps reduce turf wear and the possibility of scalping.
Keep your mower blade/blades sharp, especially if you are using a rotary mower. This is probably the single, most important maintenance practice. Dull blade/blades rip and shred the grass instead of cutting it. This makes the grass susceptible to other problems like disease and insects. With a rotary mower the blade should be sharpened at least twice a year.
