WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO OVER SEED MY LAWN?

The best time to apply new seed, an or overseed your yard is in the spring and early fall season. When the soil temperature is between 50-60 degrees. Warm days and cool nights make great weather for seedlings to grow fast before winter. Combined with de-thatching, aeration, starter fertilizer, and about 1" of water a week your new grass will amaze you!

WHY SHOULD I HAVE MY LAWN MOWED EVERY WEEK?

Grass plants are living organisms and do best when 1/3 or less of the grass blade is removed with each cut.  This also reduces the amount of thatch that will build up over time as the smaller pieces of grass will break down more quickly and act as a natural fertilizer for your lawn.  Properly maintained lawns tend to have less weeds and are also more drought resistant over the summer months.

HOW DOES AERATION WORK?

Aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produce a stronger, more vigorous lawn. The main reason for aerating is to alleviate soil compaction.
