FAQ’S

What is aeration/seeding?

Core aeration is a form of lawn aeration where a series of plugs/cores are removed from your lawn using a machine similar in size to a lawn mower. After the cores/plugs are removed, the area is then seeded to promote fresh grass growth.

What's the purpose of aeration/seeding?

Aeration helps reduce soil compaction and thatch buildup. The cores/plugs create avenues for oxygen to flow through the soil, improving overall conditions. The seeding that follows promotes fresh grass growth in patchy or damaged areas.

When's the best time for aeration/seeding?

– For cool-season grass: Early Fall is the best time, and Spring is also optimal.

– For warm-season grass: Late Spring to early Summer is most beneficial.

Does the grass need to be cut before/after the service?

The lawn should be cut before the service is completed. We bring a mower with us in case we need to do a quick cut while there for Verticutting only.

How deep are the plugs/cores?

We aim for a target depth of 2″-3″, but it depends on the current site conditions and is not guaranteed. Watering the lawn before the service helps soften the soil and is recommended.

How much seed is applied after aeration?

We apply 5lbs of Certified Tall Fescue Blend per 1000 sqft of turf.

What type of seed is used?

We use Macho-Mix for shaded areas and Heat Wave for sunny areas, both are Tall Fescue Blends.

When can I expect the service to occur?

– For Program Customers:

  – Fall: September – October

  – Spring (seed not included): March – May

– One-Time Service: Generally 1-2 weeks from signup, but sooner if possible. Once we receive your order, our scheduling team is notified and will “place” your job on the upcoming schedule. You’ll be notified via email with your expected service date, about 24 hours before the start of the job, and once the job is completed. You can also view your past and upcoming jobs within our secure client portal.

How Much Should I Water?
  • First 2 Weeks: Water lightly twice a day to keep the top inch of soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Morning and late afternoon are the best times to water.
  • Weeks 3-4: Reduce watering to once a day, ensuring that the soil stays moist to a depth of about 1-2 inches.
  • After 4 Weeks: You can start to cut back on watering to a normal routine, which is typically about 1 inch of water per week, either from rainfall or irrigation.

FAQ: What is the Purpose of Verticutting?

What is verticutting?

Verticutting is a lawn care technique that involves using a machine with vertical blades to cut into the turf. These blades slice through the thatch layer and into the soil, creating small grooves.

Why is verticutting important?

Verticutting is important for several reasons:

  1. Thatch Removal: It helps remove excess thatch buildup, which can hinder water, nutrients, and air from reaching the grass roots.
  2. Improved Soil Aeration: The grooves created by verticutting allow for better air circulation in the soil, promoting healthier grass growth.
  3. Enhanced Seed Germination: For lawns being overseeded, verticutting creates an ideal environment for seed-to-soil contact, improving germination rates.
  4. Reduced Pest and Disease Risk: By removing thatch, verticutting can reduce the risk of pests and diseases that thrive in dense, moist environments.
How often should verticutting be done?

The frequency of verticutting depends on the condition of your lawn and the amount of thatch buildup. Typically, it is recommended to verticut every 1-2 years, but this can vary based on your specific lawn needs.

Is verticutting suitable for all types of lawns?

Verticutting is beneficial for most types of lawns, especially those with a significant thatch problem. However, it’s important to consult with a lawn care professional to determine if verticutting is suitable for your specific lawn type and condition.

What is the best time of year to verticut?

The best time for verticutting is during the growing season when the grass can recover quickly. For cool-season grasses, early fall or spring is ideal. For warm-season grasses, late spring or early summer is best.

Will verticutting damage my lawn?

When done properly, verticutting should not damage your lawn. It may look a bit rough immediately after the process, but it will recover and grow back healthier. It’s important to ensure that the verticutting is done at the right depth and frequency for your lawn’s specific needs.
