Frequently Asked Questions About Aeration & Seeding
What is core aeration, and why does my lawn need it?
Core aeration is the process of physically removing small "plugs" of soil from your lawn. This relieves soil compaction caused by foot traffic, mowing, and heavy Virginia clay. It opens up the soil, allowing oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone, which is crucial for a healthy lawn.
When is the best time to aerate and seed in Virginia?
In Powhatan and Midlothian, the best time to aerate and seed is in the fall (typically September through October). The soil is warm, the air is cooling down, and there is less weed competition, providing the ideal environment for tall fescue seed to germinate and establish strong roots before summer.
What kind of grass seed do you use?
We use a high-quality blend of tall fescue seed. This variety is highly recommended for our region because it is drought-resistant, heat-tolerant, and thrives in our local climate.
What should I do to prepare for the service?
Before we arrive, please cut your grass short. This is a critical step that ensures the seed makes direct contact with the soil rather than sitting on top of existing grass blades. Direct soil-to-seed contact is essential for maximizing germination rates.
Do I need to water after the service?
Yes, watering is crucial. After seeding, the soil must be kept consistently moist for the first 2-3 weeks to allow the seed to germinate. We will provide you with specific watering instructions based on the weather conditions in your area.
