Why should I have my lawn Aerated?

Aerating your lawn is most effective during the time when plats are most active and when the soil is moist enough to allow for deep penetration. This is usually in the spring and fall, when the temperatures are cool. This avoids bringing shock to your lawn.

It is especially vital to aerate in areas where the lawn is heavily compacted, like areas where children play or where there is heavy traffic. Aerating the soil can remedy these areas where the soil is heavily compacted. This service can also be done before overseeing or laying down new sod.

Benefits of Lawn Aeration and Overseeding are:

• Aeration loosens soil, reduces compaction – allows grass roots to reach deep for water.
• Aeration penetrates soil allowing water, air and food to reach the roots and be absorbed.
• Aeration enhances seed germination. Seeds germinate easily in aerator holes.
• Overseeding introduces new grass seed to fill-in thin areas and thicken existing turf.
• Overseeding builds resistance to insect damage and turf disease.
• Aeration and overseeding reduce weeds which germinate in opportune weak areas so, a thick lawn is the best defense.
• Aeration and overseeding improve the beauty and enjoyment of the lawn.
