Fall is one of the most important times of year for fescue lawns and the time for aeration/over-seeding. If you’re unfamiliar with this type of service, the professionals at R & T Lawn Services, Inc. in Denver, NC, can help. They use a proven system for improving the look and health of fescue grass. Here’s some more information about the company’s lawn aeration service and about why it’s so important for the health of your lawn.

Benefits of Aeration

Walking or playing on your lawn can compact the soil, making it difficult for water, fertilizer, and nutrients to reach the roots of the grass. Lawn aeration service relieves that compaction and creates more space for the lawn to interact with the environment. This makes it easier for the grass to receive water and nutrients from fertilizer, leading to a lusher, healthier lawn. It also reduces water runoff, puddling, and thatch accumulation.

How Aeration Works

The team will aerate the lawn with a tool designed to break up the compacted soil several times, paying special attention to bare areas. They will then put down 5 lbs. of seed per 1,000 sq. ft. After the process, you’ll need to water the lawn daily for about a week and every other day for the following week. About a week after service, you should start to notice roots actively growing across your lawn. Once the process is complete, you should be able to go longer without watering and still enjoy a healthy, green yard.
