Fall Core Aeration / Fall Over-seeding / Dethatching
Fall Core Aeration:
Core Aeration provides passages for air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone of the grass plants. It also brings soil cores to the surface which increases microbial activity thereby reducing the thatch layer. This service is to be provided one time per season in the fall to all accessible turf areas.
Fall Over-seeding:
Professional grass seed is applied first, followed by a starter fertilizer to germinate grass seed. Grass seed and starter fertilizer will be applied with a commercial rotary spreader to ensure an even spreading of all turf areas. Settings on rotary spreaders shall be set to recommended settings and applied by a licensed applicator. This service is to be provided one time per season in the fall to all turf areas following core aeration.
Dethatching:
Dethatching involves the removal of the matted layer of dead and decaying plant material between growing grass and the soil, known as thatch. Excessive thatch prevents moisture from reaching the grass roots and provides cover for damaging insects. This service is to e provided one time per season in the fall, to all accessible turf areas.
