Better Together – The Benefits of Overseeding and Aerating Your Fescue Lawn

August 3, 2018 by Mike

Traditional style home with green lawn and brick-lined walkwayA thick, luxurious fescue lawn is a thing of beauty, but sometimes your lawn needs a little help to grow to its fullest potential. That’s where overseeding and aeration come in! Alone, these services are important for a healthy, vibrant lawn. However when combined, they become a powerful one-two punch of effective lawn care!

Why Are Aeration and Overseeding Important?

  • Aeration is so much more than just “poking holes” in your lawn! It removes cores or plugs of soil, thatch, and grass, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots more efficiently, and in turn, encouraging growth.
  • Overseeding is a solution for damaged or thin lawns, adding seed to areas that have fallen victim to summer heat, pests, or disease. Seeding over areas of established grass helps to fill in the gaps and create a thicker, more robust lawn that is better able to fend off these hazards.

Why Combine Aeration and Overseeding?

Aeration and overseeding are often combined because aeration creates an ideal environment for the new seeds. The holes and cores left behind by aeration ensure that seeds come into contact with soil, rather than getting caught in the thatch layer. When more seeds reach the soil, more of them germinate, and more grass fills in the sparse areas, leaving you with a lawn that is not only thick and attractive, but tougher in the face of lawn hazards like drought, disease, and insects. Combining aeration and overseeding will give you a healthier, hardier fescue lawn with that “make-the-neighbors-jealous” look, but the time to book is now! If you’d like to learn more about overseeding, aeration, or any other landscape and lawn care services, contact us!
