Aeration / Overseeding

Lawn Aeration and Overseeding

Lawn Aeration is a critical step to a healthy Maryland lawn. Throughout the year your lawn will become compacted and a layer of thatch will develop. This compaction and thatch blocks the essential elements: food, water, oxygen, and grass seed that your lawn needs. Aeration corrects this problem by pulling many small plugs of soil out of your yard. This allows the essential nutrients to get deep into the soil. No lawn care service in Maryland is complete without a yearly aeration and overseeding.

Overseeding when done in conjunction with aeration provides the optimal opportunity for growth of your grass seed. This method has been used as a "secret" to Golf Courses maintenance crews around the world to obtain the beautiful fairways you see at the top courses around the world. If you want a beautiful, manicured Maryland lawn, then aeration and overseeding is a yearly "must-do".

• Reduces soil compaction
• Allows food, water, and oxygen to get deeper in to the soil
• Helps decompose the thatch layer
• Improves root growth
• Increased seed germination through seed to soil contact
