Impacts of Too Much Aerification and Overseeding
Ever wondered what the impacts of heavy traffic and harsh conditions are on an established lawn or field? You can visibly see the effects such as:
- Dead patches
- Bare spots
- Under the surface, the soil becomes compacted preventing nutrients from penetrating the roots
We solve these issues at LawnMan with a process called aerification. To learn more, give us a call, or fill out our service request form and get an estimate for free.
Aerification
Aerification is the mechanical process of poking holes in the ground and removing plugs of turf and thatch. This reduces soil compaction and allows oxygen and water to penetrate to the roots of the plant, creating a deeper root system to withstand harsh conditions. Healthy soil equals healthy plants.
Overseeding
Cool season grasses such as fescue and bluegrass can do very well most of the year, but most summers we experience times of extreme heat and drought causing these types of grasses to become thin and weak. Seeding with new varieties of these grasses in the fall helps to bring back the thick, lush lawn everyone enjoys
