Core Aeration / Seeding
Aeration is the process of using a machine to pull plugs from the turf areas. The benefits of aeration in the clay soils of Northern Virginia is that it reduces thatch and soil compaction while allowing air, water, and fertilizer to penetrate deeper into the soils. This allows for deeper root growth and a denser and stronger turf.
SEEDING:
Since the September through October is the best time to seed it is normally done in conjunction with the aeration.
Seeding helps repair the damage to the turf from heavy use and the hot dry summers.
Top Dressing (Compost)
Top dressing is ideal for thin and damaged lawns. Top dressing consists of spreading a high organic compost that is suited to be used for turf areas and then raking it in to even it out. The organic matter conditions the soil and allows for better water and nutrient retention.
Trimming
Trim and reshape to remove unwanted, dead, excess, and low-hanging branches and to improve the structure, and direct new, and healthy growt
Leaf Removal
For sites that have densely planted trees and/or large, mature trees, leaf removal is a must for maintaining a clean, orderly appearance.
Allowing leaves to accumulate and smother your turf over the winter can lead to dead patches in the spring.
We remove leaves from turf areas and beds to prevent this and keep your lawn looking green.
**If necessary, leaves can be cleared multiple times in the fall season. If requested (price may vary)
All leaves will either be blown into desired location or hauled away,
*(customer must provide indications).
