Deep Plug Aeration
Do I need to be home at the time of service?Because each job takes a different amount of time to complete, it is impossible to give an accurate estimated time of arrival. Our technicians work sometimes until dark, so you can count on your service being performed on the day it is scheduled.
If you plan to be home on the day of service you can give any special instructions to the worker at that time. If you do not plan to be home at the time of service you can just leave a note of any special instructions underneath your front door mat or taped to your front door.

We love dogs. If your dog will allow a stranger into their yard to do work, leave them out. If your dog has had problems with contractors in the past, I would recommend putting your dog in the house for the day.
NO! Do not rake up the plugs after aeration. The plugs will break up after a week or so. If you do rake up your aeration plugs you will see your lawn start to thin out over time rather than being thick and plush.

There really is no such thing as aerating too much. Although most homeowners aerate their lawns every spring and fall when they apply their spring fertilizers and seeds as well as winterizer fertilizers in the fall.
For an extra thick healthy lawn, aerate again midsummer with a nitrogen fertilizer treatment. Make sure you water heavily the night before your aeration.
Yes! It is by far the best time to apply fertilizers and grass seed right after lawn aeration. This process enables the fertilizers and grass seeds to penetrate into the holes accessing the roots for accelerated results. Highly recommended!

Lawn aeration is the mechanical process of removing cores from the lawn to allow water, air, fertilizer, seed and nutrients to better reach the roots. This stimulates root growth, causing your lawn to be healthier, thicker and greener throughout the growing season.Lawn aeration also helps reduce thatch build up. The plugs will gradually break down into your lawn leaving behind important nutrients yet losing the thick layer of old dead thatch.
We use a professional grade fertilizer for all of our customers. This fertilizer is a granular organic treatment that is time released so it won't burn your lawn.
Our supercrop fertilizer is balanced with nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium to keep your lawn healthy and strong, plus numerous trace mineral elements that have been scientifically structured to give exactly what your lawn needs when it needs it. Most soils have some of these elements present, but usually they become depleted over the years. Turf is a very hungry plant during its major growing seasons.
Proper fertilizing and overseeding with balanced applications in the spring and fall, promotes thick, dense grass that can resist disease and weed invasions.
Lawns are only as good as the seed from which they are planted.
