Promotes a denser, greener lawn with improved health and resilience against environmental stressors.
Aerating your lawn is essential for maintaining a healthy, thriving lawn. Core aeration addresses thatch buildup and soil compaction, common issues that can arise from heavy yard use. When soil compacts, your grass struggles to access oxygen and nutrients, leading to weakened roots.
Core aeration alleviates compaction, particularly in the clay-heavy soils of Virginia, including newly constructed areas with easily compacted soil. The process involves poking thousands of small holes into your lawn, allowing oxygen, nutrients, and water to reach deeper into the soil, promoting stronger root growth for the grass above. Stronger roots = stronger grass.
The fall season is the ideal time for core aeration and overseeding, as the cooler temperatures and soil conditions provide the best environment for lawn rejuvenation.
OVERSEEDING
After core aeration, overseeding is performed using a premium blend of fescue grass seed, spread across the entire turf area at approximately 4 lbs per thousand square feet. This helps thicken your yard and ensure a lush, green lawn.
Seeding builds turf density, improves lawn health, and enhances its appearance. Our seeding process ensures good seed-to-soil contact, which is crucial for achieving a dense lawn. A thick lawn is your best defense against weeds and insects. Over time, aging lawns can become thin as grass plants weaken and die off, making overseeding an important step in maintaining lawn vitality.
Aside from improved air intake, core aeration and overseeding offer additional benefits, including:
In summary, your lawn will be healthier after core aeration and seeding, especially when performed in the fall season. To request an estimate or speak with a member of our team, contact us. A Reliable Lawn Care representative will reach out promptly!
