Core Aeration - Lawn Core aeration. For those unfamiliar with core aeration, this is the same service that is performed on golf course greens.  It is a process which extracts "plugs" of existing soil and deposits them on the surface of the lawn.  

This provides the following benefits :                

• 1. It permits the root system go deeper where the ground temperature is cooler and moister, allowing the grass to stay greener longer in the heat of the summer.
• 2. It brings microorganism's to the surface. While they are working their way back into the soil, they help to break up the thatch layer that can accumulate on the surface of the soil.
• 3. Allows air, sunlight, rain/water, fertilizer and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root system where it is needed.
• 4. The cores (plugs) break up over a week or so, providing a light "topdressing" of fresh soil, which also aids in the decomposition of any accumulating thatch.

Seeding - This can be done in either Spring or Fall, but for the best results ... we recommend that seeding be done following a De-thatching and aeration.  By removing any accumulated thatch and with the loosening of soil that is the result of aerating, you get the most "seed to soil" contact, which is crucial to seed germination.  

The best time to do seeding is in the Fall!          

By following the nature life cycle of most grasses, which go to seed during summer and then germinate in the early Fall, you will get the best, most vigorous stands with the least competition from weeds and insect pests and avoid the chances of newly seeded grass from getting burnt in the hot Summer months.
