Lawn Aeration & Over-Seeding

Core aeration and overseeding are essential practices for maintaining a healthy, vibrant lawn. Core aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This process relieves soil compaction, which can hinder root growth and reduce the availability of these vital elements to the grass. By aerating your lawn, you create a more favorable environment for root development, leading to stronger, more resilient grass. This is especially important in heavy clay soils or areas with high foot traffic, where compaction is more likely to occur.

Overseeding, on the other hand, is the process of planting grass seed directly into existing turf without tearing up the soil. This practice helps to fill in bare spots, improve the density of your lawn, and enhance its overall appearance. Overseeding introduces new grass varieties that are more resistant to diseases, pests, and environmental stresses, helping to rejuvenate an aging lawn. When combined with core aeration, overseeding is even more effective, as the aeration holes provide an ideal environment for the new seeds to germinate and establish themselves. Together, these practices promote a lush, healthy lawn that is better equipped to withstand weeds, drought, and other challenges.
