Fall Aeration and Overseed

August 15, 2014

It is almost time to have your lawn aerated and overseeded. It is necessary to have fall aeration done in the next month for a healthy full lawn next year.

Aeration is done for 5 reasons:

  1. Lawn decompaction
  2. Aiding in decomposition of lawn clipping and thatch level
  3. Promote root development
  4. Gives seed and fertilizer holes to fall into to improve germination and nutrition levels
  5. Lessens watering by allowing ground to become more absorbent

Power rake is done for 4 reasons:

  1. Helps remove overabundant thatch levels
  2. Breaks up bare areas to allow seed placement
  3. Breaks up aeration plugs
  4. Splits surface roots promoting greater foliage growth

Overseeding is done with top grade seeds to help enhance turf, improve drought tolerance, and fungus resistance.

Fall fertilization is also done at this time.
