Routine lawn care is the key to a healthy, beautiful lawn. Aeration and overseeding help prepare your lawn for the upcoming winter months and help seeds germinate when spring returns. This is a winning combination for improving your lawn’s appearance come spring.
Increase the Health of Your Lawn & Prepare it for Winter
Core aeration is a lawn care service in which a machine is run across your lawn and mechanically removes plugs or “cores” of soil and thatch from the lawn. Your grass needs air, water, sunlight and nutrients to grow deep, strong roots. Core aeration helps loosen compacted soil and provides access for nutrients, water and light to penetrate deep down into your lawn. This allows grass roots to breathe and grow deeper in the soil to create a strong, well-established lawn.
In order for Kentucky lawns to survive the harsh winter weather and return full and strong in the spring, they need to be at their best. Over time, the soil in your lawn becomes compacted due to foot traffic, weather and even the lawn mower. This inhibits the flow of nutrients to the roots of your grass. When your grass doesn't get the proper nutrients it needs, it becomes more susceptible to diseases, pests and harsh weather. Without aerating in the fall, your lawn can become sparse and thin and will struggle to grow once spring returns.
Help Seeds Germinate When Spring Returns
Aeration pairs perfectly with over-seeding as it improves seed germination by providing your grass seed with a safe hiding place away from pests, lawn traffic, wind and frost, allowing them to successfully take root and germinate when spring arrives. Seeding without aeration leaves the seeds exposed to snow, frost and intense cold making your grass seed investment less effective and decreasing the chances of the seed germinating successfully.
Increased Resilience Against Lawn Pests & Diseases
When your grass suffers from soil compaction and thatch, it doesn’t receive the proper nutrition to grow strong. This deficiency causes your grass blades to weaken and become more susceptible to pest infestation, fungal growth & diseases. Core aeration allows nutrients to penetrate down to the roots, which strengthens its immune system and resilience against common lawn issues
