So, you’ve decided to aerate your lawn – go you! Fall is actually the perfect time to schedule this service. In order to prepare you for your aeration services, we wanted to give you the lowdown on what to expect!
We will perform your aeration utilizing a special piece of equipment called a lawn aerator. This will pill up nickle sized plugs of soil and leave them on top of your lawn.
After about 2-weeks the plugs will break up and filter back down into the ground – so be sure to take that into consideration before scheduling any outdoor parties!
While you are having your lawn aeration services performed, it is also the best time to do your overseeding. With the open holes in your lawn caused by aeration, there is greater seed to soil contact which allows the seeds to germinate faster giving you a lush, healthy lawn. Overseeding your lawn does depend on where you live and the type of grass you have – for example it’s not recommended to overseed St. Augustine grass (sorry Florida!).
Remember to water daily after overseeding until the newly seeded grass reaches mowing height. You only need to water enough to keep the top ¼ inch of soil moist.
Look forward to a beautifully green spring lawn, by preparing for it now with our aeration and overseeding services. Learn more and schedule your service today by visiting trugreen.com/products-and-services/aeration.
