Your lawn can look like this!! Here are some tips on how to achieve this lush and manicured look.
Having your lawn mowed weekly at a consistent height of 2.5-3 inches will not only keep your lawn looking great, it is also an important part of keeping your lawn healthy. There are various ways of developing and maintaining a healthy lawn. One of the most important steps is to fertilize on a regular basis, and control weed growth. We offer a complete weed control and fertilizer package, or we can tailor our applications to meet the needs of your property. Check out our Chemicals & Fertilizer page for more details!
Want to get the most results possible out of your fertilizer applications? Try core aeration! Here's why:
Core aeration is a very important step in maintaining a healthy lawn. Like all living things, lawns can get tired, and need to be revitalized. Compacted soil and heavy thatch are the two biggest obstacles to a beautiful lawn. They tend to suffocate grass plants by preventing air, water and nutrients from reaching the root zone. This means your lawn looks less than satisfactory in spite of adequate fertilization, water and tender loving care! Aeration opens up the thatch and helps relieve compaction. It should be a regular part of your annual lawn maintenance program. Aeration is accomplished by the use of a machine equipped with cylinder-like spoons designed to penetrate and shatter the soil. Half-inch diameter plugs of thatch and soil are actually pulled from the ground during this process. The plunging action of the spoons into the ground opens up the soil - allowing the grass plants to breathe and promoting deeper, healthier roots.
Major benefits of aeration:
Increases air, water and nutrient movement to the root zone
Intensifies decomposition of thatch
Helps relieve soil compaction
Stimulates new growth
Improves drainage
Provides a better environment for overseeding
Increases the effectiveness of applied fertilizers and weed control products
