Turf Core Aeration
Aeration relieves soil compaction which opens the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots of your lawn. It also reduces the amount of thatch build up for a better the overall appearance of your yard. Note: Customer must flag sprinkler heads. We are not responsible for damage to underground dog fences or irrigation systems.
Lawn Overseeding
A heavy mixture of quality seed and starter fertilizer is used to thicken your lawn, promoting a dense root system that is less susceptible to problems with diseases and drought periods. Best results will require a fertilizer and weed control program along with plenty of water. Turf will be aerated during this process to loosen soil compaction.
