Your turf may need help in the way of aeration. A Cut Above the Curb offers aeration services to help your turf get a good head start. By aeration, the Chesapeake landscaper can insure that the soil in your lawn is loosened up by pulling a roller with big spikes across the lawn. This will puncture the turf, leaving holes that will hold water and nutrients. This is especially necessary in traffic areas, or in soil where weeds have been the main source of vegetation. The weeds will tap all of the moisture out of the soil without replacing nutrients, leaving it barren and hard. Aeration will also encourage the growth of grass roots, which will quickly fill the holes punched in the lawn, building beautiful turf. In addition, grass doesn’t grow as quickly as weeds, so it won’t have to be mowed as often.

Chesapeake Landscapers will also overseed barren areas of your lawn or field. With proper preparation, and maybe a little topsoil for a head start, the grass seed will take root. Grass roots are very strong, and they will force their way down into even hard soil once they get started. This provides a great habitat for earthworms that further condition the soil.
