Welcome to Dave's Lawn Aeration Service

A beautiful lawn is a healthy lawn with rich dark soil full of organic material and living micro life. It all starts with feeding the micro life in the soil so your grass can thrive. Increasing microbial activity helps accelerate the break down of thatch. It is best practice to leave your grass clippings for these microorganisms to recycle them into more nutrients, keeping the grass looking greener, longer. It is important to bag your clippings if the soil does not have microbial activity because the thatch build up blocks fertilizer applications, and traps moisture on top of the soil causing disease and unwanted insects.

You may wonder how that one neighbor with the best lawn around seems to do the least amount of work to it. The goal is to get Mother Nature working on autopilot. I personally use Milorganite to activate nature's microbes and provide slow release of nutrients for continuous greening. I focus on organic lawn care practices such as core aeration and overseeding in the Fall to relieve soil compaction and promote a strong root system. In early Spring I dethatch my lawn with a power rake to comb up matted down grass and other winter debris embedded in the soil, then apply a balanced fertilizer for an early green up.
