Fall is here, which means that your landscaping needs are done for the year, right? Wrong! Maintaining a lush, green lawn is about much more than just watering and mowing in the summer.
Aeration and Overseeding Are Effective
Aeration involves perforating the surface of your lawn with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This process helps the roots grow deeper, resulting in a stronger, more resilient lawn. Overseeding is the process of distributing grass seed into existing grass without tearing up the soil. It helps fill in bare spots, which ensures that your lawn is dense and lush. It is most effective when combined with aeration.
Aeration and Overseeding Are Perfect for Fall
Fall is a great time to aerate and overseed your lawn, as the new grass will be able to get established before going dormant for the winter. September is the perfect month to schedule your aeration and overseeding, and our team would love to help transform your lawn this fall so that it looks great next spring.
Aeration and Overseeding Work Best Together
Aeration and overseeding complement each other. Aeration creates the perfect environment for seeds to make good contact with the soil, improving germination rates. Overseeding after aeration ensures that the new grass has the best chance to thrive. By combining the two services, you will get the highest impact results and help your investment in your lawn go as far as possible.
Aeration and Overseeding Make Your Yard More Drought Resistance
One of the major benefits of aeration and overseeding is improved drought resistance. Aeration allows water to reach deeper into the soil, which encourages grass roots to grow deeper as well. Deeper roots can access moisture that is stored further down in the soil, making your lawn more resilient during periods of drought. Overseeding can also introduce hardy grass varieties that are better equipped to survive with less water.
Aeration and Overseeding Make Your Lawn More Disease Resistant
A well-aerated and properly overseeded lawn is less susceptible to lawn diseases. Dense, healthy grass with strong roots will be better equipped to fight off disease-causing pathogens. By introducing disease-resistant grass varieties through overseeding, you can further protect your lawn from many common turf diseases like brown patch, dollar spot, and rust.
