Aeration/Top Dressing
Core aeration pull plugs out of the ground allowing air, water and nutrients into the root zone. The cores break down easily with weather and mowing. Starts at $90.
When to Aerate
In spring or fall are a good times to aerate. After a rain is a great time to Aerate as penetration of up to 2 inches is beneficial. Core aeration is the best form as it removes cores, which break down over time. It looks messy but as grass grows and is mown these break down. This should be done every two years to increase water penetration and let air into the root zone of turf. Poking causes additional compaction, while coring doesn’t.
Topdressing
Compost applied after aeration gives the grass a natural slow release feeding. Seeding grass into the compost allows the existing grass to get thicker which reduces weed infestation. When over-seeding, it is recommended to use a starter fertilizer. Starter fertilizer contains Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Phosphorus. Due to a ban, it cannot be applied to lawns unless you are seeding new grass or over-seeding. Top dressing is done in spring or fall. But not when it is very hot.
