Composting

This is a great way to create the proper biology to a lawn, help with green-up and improve moisture retention. Composting can be done alone or in combination with seeding and core aeration as detailed below.

Composting and Seeding
Composting and seeding adds the proper biology to a lawn, helps with green-up, and improves moisture retention while installing quality seed at the same time to help thicken your lawn.

It is recommended that starter fertilizer application and lime is applied at the time of seeding, as well as after germination.

Core Aeration, Overseeding, and Composting
We mechanically core aerate the lawn in two directions, overseed and spray compost and a starter fertilizer application. We add a high nitrogen starter fertilizer application to be done at the time of this service to expedite seed growth and feed your existing lawn. This helps to reduce compaction, creates holes for seedlings, covers the seed in a quarter-inch of highly organic material while the starter fert provides additional nitrogen for a great head start on germination.
