There are three rules to follow to obtain maximum results from seeding.
Plant a variety of cultivars
The better the seed soil contact, the higher the germination rate
The less the soil dries out, the higher the germination rate. Mulching is an important factor in maintaining moisture in the soil.

Treating Bare Spots
Bare spots create ideal breeding areas for weeds. A new, thick turf needs to be established by loosening up the existing soil or adding % to 1/2" of new topsoil. Cover with straw or mulch layer to keep the soil moist. Keep the soil wet for 14 to 21 days.
Over Seeding
Annual over seeding will introduce new cultivars to existing lawns and improve resistance to diseases and drought. Over seeding an established lawn requires irrigation to create seed-soil contact necessary for germination. Without seed-soil contact germination will be quite low.
Plug Life Into Your Roots
Aerate This Fail
Call us anytime to see how we can help your lawn breathe all season long.
In most lawns, the natural soil has been seriously disturbed during construction, leaving the subsoil more compact and undesirable for healthy lawn growth. Walking, mowing, playing and irrigation compact soil particles and reduce the air space necessary for root growth. Compaction is greatest in the upper areas of soil and needs to be relieved by mechanical aeration. This mechanical process plugs 2-3 inch deep finger size holes into the soil to improve the air, water and nutrient exchange with your roots. A healthy lawn should be aerated once a year to offer proper root growth.

Fall Cleanup
Winterize with Fertilizer
Our Specially blended winterizer fertilizers will build a stronger; deeper root system this fall and a healthier lawn next spring.
October and November are ideal months to fertilize because there is very little shoot growth and the cooler temperatures stimulate root activity. The natural fall cycle of the grass plant is to send all of its nutrients down to the roots and store the balance for winter survival and spring shoot growth.
Feed Trees & Shrubs!
Fall is the time to feed your trees and shrubs too! Well fed ornamental plants grow more vigorously, look greener and healthier and flower better. Liquid fertilizers can be injected into the root zone of trees and shrubs or dry fertilizers can be spread in plant beds. Call us. We will feed them the nutrients they need to maintain their health and vigor.
