The Benefits of Aerating, Overseeding, & Topdressing

Steps to a Lush Lawn This Fall A Thick Lawn is Your Best Defense Against Weeds!

Aerate
Throughout the year, your lawn’s soil becomes compacted from foot traffic, lawnmowers, snow, rain, and irrigation. This makes it hard for your turf to get enough water and nutrients and makes it difficult for new seeds to grow. So, we “aerate” or make holes in the soil to let water and nutrients reach the roots. This helps your existing root system spread and grow stronger and encourages new seeds to sprout. Aeration also reduces thatch, which steals water and nutrients from your grass.

Overseed
You may notice your turf has a few bare patches or is thinning. Patchy lawns look dull and are susceptible to insects, weed growth, and disease. After aerating, we spread high-quality seed in the tiny holes so new grass can fill in quickly. Overseeding reduces areas for weeds to grow and helps to prevent disease and insect damage. The best defense against weeds is always a thicker lawn!

Humates
Year after year, a loss in humic material makes it harder for your lawn to take up vital fertilizer and nutrients. Humates serve as the powerhouse of soil, enhancing nutrient availability. They activate the soil's biology, ensuring nutrients move efficiently from soil to grass and significantly boosting your lawn's vitality. Our application involves only the finest quality and highest concentration of humates, designed to unlock nutrients trapped in the soil while minimizing fertilizer runoff. Give your lawn the turbocharged treatment it deserves with our premium humates!
