As the summer heat begins to fade into fall, lawn care practices must begin to accommodate for the changing season and cooler air which includes preparing your lawn for the winter.
Lawn Aeration and over seeding is a very popular and effective procedure to ensure the proper nutrients, air and water are reaching the root system of your grass. Aeration is the process of removing small plugs (approximately 2.5” to 5” deep) of grass and soil over your entire lawn. This procedure will help strengthen the grass root system, help boost resistance to the cold winter and also remove thatch that has built up over the seasons.
Over seeding is a practice that is commonly performed in conjunction with aeration. The aeration process helps the seeds easily penetrate the grounds surface through the plugs that are removed from the soil. The moisture in the ground over the winter helps the seed germinate faster in the upcoming spring.
