What is aeration?

Aeration is the mechanical removal of soil cores from the lawn. These one to two inch cores are left on top of the lawn and as the cores break down, microbes feed on and break down thatch. Thatch is the spongy and often impervious layer of decaying material between the crown of the grass plants and the soil.

Why aerate and overseed?

Although one of the primary benefits of aeration is the reduction of soil compaction, it also helps prepare a perfect place for new seed to germinate. The little holes in the soil hold water for the new seed and help to improve soil quality through the release of nutrients from beneficial microorganisms.

How often should lawns be aerated and overseeded?

All lawns will benefit from an annual aeration and seeding. Aeration reduces compaction, allows for better water infiltration, and provides more oxygen to the roots. Overseeding each year helps to rejuvenate damaged areas and introduce improved grass varieties into the lawn.

What can you expect following your aeration and overseeding treatment?

Over time, your lawn will fill in and begin to thicken as new root shoots develop. The grass plants will be able to sustain themselves better through the winter months and stand up to the stress caused by weather extremes. In addition, the turf will be better able to ward off disease and drought pressure next year.

And best of all, new plant growth and subsequent thickening of the lawn will provide you with an aesthetically pleasing property which will be the envy of your neighbors.
