Power Seeding & Aeration: Get Your Grass Green This Fall!

Posted on August 17, 2009 with No Comments

Power seeding will make small slits in the solid and fill them with seeds. This can nearly guarantee germination, and grow grass in the weak areas of your lawn.

Aeration is also a recommended service during the growing season. During the winter and spring, your soil will become compacted, and strain the growth of grass. This will make your grass appear thinner and less healthy. Aeration is done with a machine that removes soil about the size of a cork, every 3-6 inches. This will loosen up the solid and allow “breathing room” for the grass roots.

After all lawn services it is highly recommended that you water your lawn as it is the main backbone in growing a green lawn.
