Aeration

Aeration is the first step to a healthy lawn!

Aeration: 
Makes water, oxygen, and nutrients more available in the soil
Makes watering and irrigation systems more efficient
Improves fertilizer uptake
Reduces soil compaction (especially high-activity clay soils)
Creates a stronger, more efficient root system
Reduces water run-off and puddling
Improves thatch breakdown
If your lawn is not aerated, a thinning of the grass may occur, which allows weeds and disease to take over.
Aeration should be done every year in either spring or fall. We offer both single-pass or double-pass (more beneficial) lawn aeration.

Seeding

No lawn service program is complete without some form of seeding. 
Seeding helps fill in bare spots where weeds can grow.
Seeding introduces new varieties of grass – many of which are more drought and disease-resistant than the existing grass.
Seeding helps grow thick, healthy grass.

Seed Selection
The right grass seed is critical to getting the best results for your lawn. We consider many factors when deciding what type of seed best suits your needs. In addition to the over-all climate, rainfall, and temperatures of our region, we factor in exposure to sunlight and expected traffic levels of different areas of your lawn.
Adding seed to your current lawn (overseeding) helps your lawn become thick and full, and a thick lawn is the best form of weed control.
Aeration and seeding, are important parts of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan. 
Seeding can be done in many ways: 
Broadcast overseeding with aeration. (Recommended)
Lawn Restoration (Double aeration, overseeding, topdressing)
Slit-seeding
