CORE AERATION AND OVERSEED INFO
đź“…Â TIMING: (8/18-11/27)
WHATS INCLUDED:
-
Extracts soil plugs to mitigate soil compaction.
-
Promotes enhanced moisture and nutrient absorption.
-
Enhances root development and diminishes thatch.
Important Preparation Notes
- Irrigation Systems
Please flag all sprinkler heads before our visit.- If heads are properly flagged, the chance of hitting one is nearly zero.
- If heads are not flagged, there is a 5–10% chance we may strike one. If this happens, please check your system after the service to see if a replacement is needed.
- We are not liable for damaged heads unless our route manager runs over a properly flagged location.
- Other Buried or Low-Profile Objects
We are not liable for any damage to items that are not visible and not flagged at the time of service. This includes:- Invisible dog fencing
- City water caps
- Septic tank covers or risers
- Any other underground or low-profile items not marked before we arrive
- Mowing
Please ensure your lawn is freshly mowed before our visit. Shorter grass helps the aeration machine avoid low-profile objects like rocks and stumps, and it improves the seed’s ability to reach the soil where it has the best chance to germinate.
About the Service
- Core Aeration relieves soil compaction and allows more air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone.
- Overseeding introduces new, improved grass varieties for better color, density, and resilience.
Unless otherwise arranged, we use a 50/50 Kentucky Bluegrass/Perennial Ryegrass seed blend, chosen for its balance of quick germination and long-term durability.
AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS:
‼️ If possible, water lawn each day to assist with seed germination‼️
‼️ Inspect irrigation and underground fence wiring for potential damage ‼️
WHAT TO EXPECT:
- Tiny cylinder shaped plugs from the soil will be littered all over the lawn
- Plugs will break down over the next few weeks with weather and traffic
- New grass will germinate in 7-21 days (Overseed Only)
- Beneath the surface, roots will deepen and stretch and water retention at the roots will increase
