Aeration & Overseeding
Brown Brothers’ Landscape & Snow provides aeration & overseeding services to promote the health, thickness, and growth of your lawn all season long. Pairing this service with our 6-Step Turf Application Program will deliver optimal results to your turf.
Quality
Equipment – We use the best-in-class stand-on Lesco Aerators with Drop Seeders. These machines have hydraulic pressure that drives tines into the ground to pull plugs.
Seed – Fescue Xcalibur is the seed we have seen with the best results. Occasionally we will mix in Bluegrass on a property to give added strength for pets and turf tear.
Double Pass – We overlap each pass to create double the impact on the turf and ensure several plugs per sq. ft.
Starter Fertilizer – After seeding, we immediately apply fertilizer to enhance nutrition of the soil and to increase germination rate of the seed.
Timing – September 1st – October 15th is the window in which we target for this service.
Germination – Fall is the best time to grow new grass. Grass seed thrives in the cool, wet conditions. A common myth is that spring produces the best results for seed growth, however, spring time is also when weeds germinate, and thus take nutrients away from newly planted seed.
Benefits
Compaction – Aeration is needed for the lawn to reduce the soil compaction, and allow for new growth, and nutrients to be absorbed by existing roots in the soil.
Oxygen – O2 molecules are now able to reach the roots and promote deeper growth.
Water – With the thatch and compaction layer, the nutrients were unable to reach the roots of the grass.
Fertilizer – After aeration, the de-compacted lawn is able to make the most of the fertilizer and weed control products that we use in our 8-Step Turf Application Program.
Lawn Rennovation
Contact Brown Brothers’ Landscape & Snow to schedule your Lawn Aeration & Overseeding. Our double pass Core Aeration process loosens the soil and allows roots to plant themselves stronger in the soil, and establishes deeper root networks. These deeper and more extensive root networks lead to thicker blades of grass, and beautiful full lawns.
