Green T Fall Aeration and Seeding

PRLog (Press Release) - May 4, 2012 - Throughout the spring and summer, people devote time to fertilizing and seeding their lawns or hire lawn care services such as Green T to handle those tasks for a plush, healthy lawn.  In the fall, lawns, like all plant life, wilt away before enduring a brutally cold winter.  However, it is possible to protect your lawn from excessive winter root damage with aerations and over seeding.  Green T Lawn Care offers lawn aerations and over seeding services in the fall cycle of their lawn care system.  
   Green T performs the process of core aeration for lawns in the fall.  Core aeration is the process of removing plugs of grass 3 or 4 inches deep in a grid pattern over the entire lawn.  The holes left behind create spaces for water, oxygen, fertilizers, and pesticides to penetrate the surface of your lawn and reach the root system.  The root system will become stronger and more resistant to winter weather if water, oxygen, and nutrients have direct access to absorb close to the roots.  Core aeration can also benefit your lawn in several other ways.  One benefit is that aeration helps remove thatch from the lawn’s surface.  Thatch is a surface build-up of grass clippings, dead roots, and rhizomes.  While thatch can be a good source of fertilizer, it absorbs water and nutrients before they can reach the root system if it becomes too thick.  Thatch can also serve as an ideal breeding ground for lawn pests such as insects and grubs.  Removing thatch can help prevent these pests from establishing themselves in your lawn.  Aeration also loosens the soil to help lawns drain and use excess water.  While aeration is important for helping your lawn survive the winter, over seeding along with the aeration process can help your lawn’s root system stay strong in the coldest months.  http://greenteelawncare.com/index.php/lawn-core-aeration/
   During the winter months, lawn growth and reproduction naturally slows down.  This will cause the root system to thin out which makes lawns more inviting to weeds.  Over seeding your lawn in the fall will help root systems stay thick and strong because of the high moisture levels in the soil over the winter that feed the seeds.  The old dead grasses are replaced with fresh grass and roots for a stronger root system.  Over seeding is ideal during aerations because the seeds can make their way to the root system via the holes opened up by the aeration process.  Lawns will also germinate faster in the spring if over seeding takes place in the fall.    http://greenteelawncare.com/index.php/lawn-over-seeding/
Aerating and over seeding your lawn is the best way to prepare for the winter months.  These services can help promote strong root systems and early germination for the following spring.  Green T Lawn Care offers aeration and over seeding services to keep your lawn healthy in the coldest months.  Do not give up on your lawn in the fall; call Green T for core aeration and over seeding services.  http://greenteelawncare.com/
