Q: Do I need to aerate my lawn before seeding?

• <div><p>Aerating a lawn before seeding it or adding new grass seed is a smart decision. By loosening up compact soil and allowing it to take in more air and water, your seeds will have an easier time establishing roots and growing. Aerating beforehand also means your seeds will have better contact with the soil, so more of your seeds have a chance to germinate. If you do plan to aerate your lawn before seeding, aerate about two days before you plan to start seeding.</p></div>

Q: Should I aerate my lawn during the fall or spring clean-up?

• <div><p>Aerate in the fall to relieve compaction and allow nutrients and water to better reach roots.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>The best way to aerate your lawn depends on what kind of grass and soil you have and your budget and patience level. There are many options to choose from, including spike aerators, core aerators, aerator shoes, and more, and many types can be found in either manual or motorized versions.</p></div>

Q: Is spike aeration better than nothing?

• <div><p>Although core aeration is overall a better method of aerating a lawn, spike aeration can still be helpful, especially if you have a smaller yard or are only trying to work on a specific problem area. Because spike aeration is so accessible thanks to its lower cost and easy DIY tools like aerator shoes, it can still be worthwhile for some gardeners.</p></div>

Brian has worked on our property for a long time and has always done a great job! From the pond to the mulching and lawn care, to the trimming of the shrubs and the clearing of the snow, we have always been very satisfied with the quality of the work.

Trugreen is very reliable with their service. They always show up on schedule and they are very professional. They are also very responsive to any issues with our lawn that we might have. They do come around periodically to inspect other areas of our yard and offer recommendations.

It took two teams a couple of visits to accomplish everything. The first team removed the trees and stumps. Carrying away everything took a couple of trips. The second team used a sod cutter to remove the undesired grass. This was made more difficult because we had a sprinkler system installed...

Great experience. I opted for middle grade natural fertilizers as opposed to harsh chemicals. Would reccommend them over the other lawn services I have used previously.

Before I used Greensward I had problems with week control. Since using Greensward I have had no weed problem and the lawn has been kept healthy. They are very professional and leave a report each time a treatment has been completed. I would highly recommend them.
