Aeration and Overseeding
Aeration and Overseeding
Aeration and overseeding is a great way to repair a lawn from summer or winter damage. We use the most updated core aeration machines allowing us to pull quality plugs consistently across your entire lawn. These hollow tines penetrate through the thatch layer and eject cores onto the turf surface where they break down and are utilized as a protective layer for new grass seed to germinate. New advances in grass seed are more resistant to disease, drought, and heat stress.
