Aeration and Overseeding
Aeration and Overseeding
Aeration and overseeding helps lawns recover from summer and winter damage, repairing bare spots and thin areas quickly before weeds establish and take over. 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. New advances in grass seed cultivators are much stronger, improving disease resistance as well as heat and drought stress.
