  • Core aeration

    Lawn Aeration and Overseeding in Wake County is a must in this area. Aeration of the lawn is pulling cores out of the soil about 2-3 inches deep and leaving it on the grass to breakdown. This process was created to relieve compact soils and return nutrients, air, and water back to the soil and roots of the grass. Overseeding is the process of applying grass seed to an existing lawn after aeration has been completed to achieve a healthy, thick, lush lawn.

    Why is Lawn Aeration and Overseeding important? Lawn aeration is extremely important in Wake county, NC for many reasons including new construction, heavy machinery, clay soils, and even just mowing your lawn. New construction builds are very compacted when the developers install the sod that lays on the compacted soil. This is tough on the roots of the sod because its very hard for the roots to penetrate and receive essential nutrients causing very shallow rooting and unhealthy, tiny grass blades. Leaving this unattended can cause sod damage, or even sod death. In North Carolina, our state soil is clay. Clay has the smallest particle size of all soil meaning that it compacts much tougher than all other soils. Because of our geography, we must aerate at least once a year. Even mowing your lawn over a years time will lead to compaction, unhealthy, thirsty turf. If you can't smoothly drive a screwdriver into your ground, its way too compacted and its time for a change. Overseeding is very important as well when considering a full, lush lawn. Overseeding can be used for the embetterment of a fescue yard, or adding a cool season grass to warm season grass to achieve green color all year long.
