Aeration And Over Seeding

Performing core aerations and over seeding on your lawn late in the season is the best way to prepare your lawn for the cold winter months. The aeration process involves removing 3-4 inch plugs of grass over the entire lawn so that seeds, water, and nutrients can fall into these holes and absorb closer to the root system. It is beneficial to over seed after aeration so that the seeds can easily reach the root system.
