One of the best things you can do for your lawn, is to commit to either a DIY aeration and overseeding service or signing up for one with a local lawn care company. Aeration and overseeding breaks down compaction and promotes strong turf root development.
Strong roots mean plants can increase stress tolerance when it comes to weather and disease. It also helps the plant search for food and moisture deep in the soil.
But, does your lawn REALLY need an aeration and overseeding service? Here are three sure signs that you should consider aerating and overseeding this fall.
1. Bare Spots
Does your lawn have bare spots the size of a tennis ball or larger? If so, aeration will increase the soil health of those areas while seeding will help the lawn fill in ugly gaps.
2. Water runs off from rain or irrigation
This is a sure sign of soil compaction. Loosening up the soil will help it take up water more easily and deliver water to the roots of your lawn.
3. Brown lawn in the summer
Does your lawn brown easily in the summer? Conducting an aeration application will build up plant tolerance during weather stress, like droughts.
