Compacted soil and heavy thatch are two big obstacles we face in our area. They tend to suffocate grass plants by preventing air, water, and other nutrients from reaching the root zone. This means your lawn looks less than satisfactory in spite of a sound fertilization and weed control program, water, and tender loving care. Core aeration opens up the thatch and helps relieve compaction. We strongly recommend core aeration for warm season grasses every spring (after scalping) and aeration and over seeding for Fescue in the fall.

Soil pH can influence a plant’s growth by preventing organic matter from breaking down and ties up nutrients, particularly nitrogen. Limestone corrects soil acidity and supplies calcium and magnesium nutrients needed by the plant. Liming on a yearly basis is a must for lawns in our area and can be included in every Superior Lawn Services lawn care program.
