Aeration and Overseeding
Core aeration to open compacted soil, followed immediately by overseeding for a thicker lawn.
About This Service
Long Island soil compacts, especially anywhere people and mowers travel the same line every week. Compacted ground holds water on the surface, starves roots of air and gradually thins the turf out no matter how much fertiliser goes down. Core aeration pulls plugs out of the ground and opens it back up.
Overseeding right behind the aerator is what turns it from maintenance into improvement. The holes give seed direct contact with soil instead of sitting on top of the thatch, so germination is far better than broadcasting onto an untouched lawn.
Best done in early fall when soil is still warm and weed pressure has dropped. One pass a year keeps most residential lawns ahead of compaction. Badly compacted properties are worth doing twice in the first year.
