Welcome to Dave's Lawn Aeration Service
The long term goal for a beautiful lush lawn is to get Mother Nature working on autopilot. I believe organic lawn care practices including core aeration, overseeding, and dethatching are the best things you can do for a healthy lawn.
In addition to your regular fertilizer program I recommend aerating and overseeding in the Fall to help lawns recover from damaging summer conditions and thicken up thin bare spots with new seed. The best way to minimize weeds from taking over is to maintain a thick lawn to block them out.
In early Spring between late March and early April, before pre-emergent weed control is applied, mow the lawn down short and dethatch it with a power rake to lift up matted down grass and other winter debris embedded in the soil. Dethatching gives it a "wake up" and allows more air, water, and nutrients to reach the soil for an early jumpstart to the growing season. Then apply an organic fertilizer to activate nature's microbes which are responsible for breaking down thatch and recycling nutrients.

Aeration and overseeding helps lawns recover from Summer stress and relieves soil compaction. Core aeration plugs holes into the soil allowing more air, water and nutrients to reach the root zone. 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 can be utilized as a protective layer for new grass seed to germinate ...
Lawn dethatching helps pull up matted down grass clippings, twigs and debris that can suffocate your lawn preventing water and nutrients from reaching the root zone. Dethatching or power raking is best done in early Spring after the first short mow of the season. It is recommended to clean up and remove all the thatch and then apply organic fertilizer so the grass can grow back greener and stronger. Organic fertilizer activates nature's microbes that are necessary for breaking down thatch and ...
