Is power seeding better than aeration?

• <div><p>Power seeding and aeration are both great ways to improve the health of your lawn, but one isn’t better than the other. Aeration alone doesn’t involve planting grass seeds; instead, this service is focused on improving soil health. Aeration is a great service to do before any type of seeding to make seeding more effective.</p></div>

Q: What benefits does professional aeration offer over doing it myself?

• <div><p>Pros provide deep, even aeration with machinery inaccessible to the DIY homeowner.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to aerate a lawn?

• <div><p>A manual spike aerator or aerator shoe is a very affordable way to aerate a lawn. Such devices can often be purchased for between $30 and $50. Liquid aerator is another affordable option, but this enzymatic spray may not work as well as actual, physical aeration for helping ease compacted soil and may take several applications.</p></div>

Q: Why is my buffalo grass turning brown?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass starts to turn brown when encountering drought during the normal growing season. You can water the grass when you begin to notice some browning to prevent it from going dormant. Additionally, buffalo grass turns brown after the first freeze of late autumn or early winter, and this is a natural time for the grass to go dormant.</p></div>

Q: What is better: spike or core aeration?

• <div><p>When it comes to combatting the effects of soil compaction, core aeration does a far better job for a longer period of time&mdash;because it actually removes dirt rather than just pressing holes into it. By taking dirt out from under your lawn, core aeration allows more light, air, water, and nutrients to penetrate into the soil below and help your grass&rsquo;s roots grow even stronger.</p></div>

Daniel and his crew did an excellent job. They were very professional and courteous. Several trenches were dug but the job site was cleaned and restore back to the original shape as much as possible. The system works perfectly. I highly recommend T-Squared for irrigation systems.

Jay's Tree Service used a Spider Lift to remove a large tree located, in a difficult place to reach, in my back yard. They protected the turf with mats that the lift could travel over as it moved across the lawn. No damage was done to my lawn. They cleaned up all of the debris before leaving....

Excellent job. They mow the lawn in different directions each time (diagonal one time, back and forth the next) which is a good thing. They have been doing my lawn mowing and gutter cleaning/repairs for several years.
