—WHY so important? —WHY is it such a good time?
Experts Agree- Fall is the best time to make a positive and lasting impact on a lawn. The secret to a beautiful lawn and landscape is not only fixing existing problems but also proactively maintaining the needs before problems arise. Now is the time to think about next year’s lawn. Fall is the best time to aerate. Roots do most of their growing in the fall and early spring, leading to a thicker lawn next year. Fall is also the best time for seeding with no conflicts with standard weed control techniques. By incorporating newer breeds of grass, a lawn will be more drought, insect, and disease resistant. Balance Upgrade Fertilizer will push root growth and Organic Upgrade Fertilizer will stimulate microbial life in the soil for a thicker, healthier, more disease resistant lawn next year. Aeration will help your lawn be its best, and stay its best. Together these services build your lawn for the long term and stop problems before they start. Note- Perennial cool-season grasses (your lawn) have the best chance to overcome thin areas with two to three good feedings or root enhancing services like aeration in the fall. Next spring when your lawn comes out of dormancy, it will build more root expansion and top growth off the roots that have expanded in the fall.
Your outside room speaks volumes about you and your house.

Regularly Aerated Lawns with Fall services can make the difference.
