Choosing Services for O’Fallen & St Charles Aeration & Dethatching

Why Aerate?

Compacted soil prevents grass from establishing a healthy root system and keeps vital nutrients from reaching the turf roots. Through aeration, soil becomes less compacted and is exposed to the circulation of air. Once the soil is aerated, air exchange improves and the soil can easily absorb water, fertilizer and other nutrients.

Direct benefits for O’ Fallon & St Charles Aeration

Core aeration can improve the health of lawns and reduce maintenance by.

-Improving air exchange between soil and atmosphere
-Enhancing water and fertilizer uptake
-Reducing water runoff and puddling
-Strengthening turfgrass roots
-Reducing soil compaction
-Enhancing heat and drought stress tolerance
-Enhancing thatch breakdown

Why Dethatch?

Thatch can keep water and air from reaching the soil, and, if left untreated can create an enviroment that harbors pests and diseases. Dethatching, however, removes those layers of dead grass, roots and debris matted between the soil and the growing grass. It helps keep the grass greener and healthier while minimizing the chance of disease.

Why Overseed?

Overseeding when needed will improve a lawn significantly and make it much harder for weeks to become established. Grass needs to be revitalized every few years or when there has been drought situations in your area. Overseeding compensates doe that natural slowdown of the turfs reproduction. There are two major benefits to overseeding first, you lawn will stay think and dense, and the second reason is it will resist disease. The new varieties of seed you sow this year will have better disease resistance than grass that is matured already from years past.

Direct Benefits of Overseeding

Overseeding is an easy way to:

• Fill in bare spots
• Improve the density and color of turf
• Establish improved grass varieties
• Help the lawn withstand insects, disease, drought, shady conditions and heavy traffic
• Reduce the amount of fertilizer, water and pesticides required
