Aeration & Overseeding
Aerating (also called aerification) is the process in which a machine pulls cores from the turf and deposits them back on top of the lawn. This helps prevent soil compaction, which can reduce the spaces within the soil that hold oxygen. Because turf roots need oxygen to grow, compacted soil also results in poor nutrient uptake. It is also a physical barrier to root growth. Healthy, aerated soil is also better for your lawn and the environment.
Overseeding is done at the same time as the core aeration to naturally thicken a lawn with new and improved grass types. Overseeding at the time of aeration will significantly improve germination results.
- Aeration will improve air and water movement through the soil.
- Aeration will help roots grow deeper, which provides a stronger healthier grass plant.
- Aeration will help reduce thatch. Excessive thatch in a lawn will prevent nutrients and water from getting down to the roots.
- Aeration will help reduce soil compaction.
- Aeration is a natural way to help provide a thick, healthy turf, thus preventing weeds and crabgrass from germinating.
- Overseeding will improve the overall appearance of your lawn.
- Overseeding will reduce the risk of surface insects and diseases by introducing more tolerant grass species. A healthy lawn is your best defense from invasive pests and diseases.
- Overseeding will increase the thickness of the lawn, thus preventing ugly, broadleaf weeds from germinating.
