The Origin Story of the Greatest Lawn Care Duo of All Time!

When it comes to the green industry, we also have a great duo! Aeration and overseeding service is the ultimate lawn care duo! We are here to discuss their origin story, along with their powers and even their nemesis! 

The Birth of the Duo

Believe it or not, we have a lot to do with the birth of this duo. See, an aeration and overseeding service are needed because your lawn is in such bad shape that it needs to be cared for. 

Overseeding is needed because your lawn needs to grow healthy again. Aeration is needed because the soil of your lawn has become compacted. Now, you must ask yourself, what made my lawn get in this condition? 

That is where we play a significant role. We are what causes the soil of our lawn to become compacted. Therefore, we are the ones that must stay on top of our lawn and make sure it is healthy. So technically, we are the catalyst behind the need for this duo! 

In some cases, the birth of this duo can be like that of a comic hero. But, unfortunately, this birth often involves a tragic death. But, of course, unlike the comics, we are talking about the death of your lawn and not characters. 

Rise of the Villain

As we mentioned, we are the direct cause of compaction. Compaction is the villain or nemesis of aeration and overseeding! 

Compaction is caused/born from foot traffic on our lawn. When we use our lawn all spring and summer, along with our pets, children, guests, etc., we are causing compaction on our lawn! 

Suppose we get our lawn rolled, instant compaction! If we throw “the” party of the summer, and guests must park on our property, you guessed it, compaction! 

But what is compaction, and what makes it a villain?

Compaction is the blockade that forms in your lawn’s soil. If it had power, it would be a constricting power. Unfortunately, it also turns your soil into a literal impenetrabho le wall. Compaction prevents nutrients, water, and air from getting to the roots of soil. Over time it gets more complicated, making it more challenging to get anything to your roots. 

There are signs of this villain as it does not go unseen! Some signs of a compacted lawn are: 

• The lawn feels bouncy
• The lawn feels sponge-like
• The lawn has excessive water buildup out of nowhere
• The grass will start to turn brown
• The grass will start to decay/bald

The overall impact of compaction can lead to the death of your lawn if not taken care of. That is why getting rid of compaction before the winter is so important. You do not want a decayed or dead lawn heading into the winter season because it will be dead for the spring and take forever to nurse back to health! 

The Battle of the Lawn

Once compaction happens and is noticed, an aeration service needs to be done. 

Aeration penetrates the soil that compaction has affected. Aeration comes in and clears up the passageways that have been blockaded. This will open on your soil, allowing the nutrients, air, and water to get to the roots of your soil finally. Once the roots start getting the nutrients they need, this will start a healthy growth cycle for your lawn, rejuvenating it! 

After aeration is done on your lawn, the next step is to overseed. Overseeding will apply new fresh seeds to your lawn. This will help the areas of your lawn that have been majorly impacted: Areas that have brown patches, bald spots, and even dead areas. Overseeding in those areas will help bring those areas back to health, getting those areas filled with bright green grass again! 

These two combined services are the exact remedy and duo to fight off and get rid of the compaction villain. Not only will these two services get rid of compaction, but they will also bring your lawn back to perfect health! 

A healthy lawn brings curb appeal to your property as well as increases the value of your property! That’s the ultimate heroic ending! 

Sidekicks

There are other things that you need to do this autumn when it comes to lawn care. A seasonal cleanup is essential to clear your lawn before you aerate. 

A lot of people debate and weigh their options when it comes to aeration. There is the option to purchase or rent an aeration machine for your property to perform the service yourself. However, calling in professionals to complete this type of service is highly recommended. 

You read the issues that can happen if compaction is not fixed. Providing an aeration service on your own requires you to have the knowledge, skillset, and free time to complete the service. If you lack the confidence in your skillset to perform the service at a professional level, you should hire a professional to provide the service for you! 

A professional completing the service guarantees the job will be done to your liking and completed correctly. A pro’s touch will also provide a less stressful state of mind for you, knowing you do not have to worry about compaction impacting your lawn any further! 

Professionals providing the service also allow you to reap the benefits that come with the service. That means you are guaranteed a healthy lawn, curb appeal, and an increase in your property value!
