Aeration & Seeding

"Custom Lawn are prompt when you call them if you want to know something. They are quick to provide an estimate whenever needed."
Richard, Stilwell, KS

A thick, healthy lawn requires constant care. Over time, lawns can get compacted soil and thatch build-up, which can inhibit the growth of new grass. If your lawn has taken a beating from the heat of summer or is starting to have thin spots, it may need more than just seed.

Core Aeration reduces soil compaction, slows thatch build up, and creates growth pockets for new roots. It opens the way for water and fertilizer to get into the root zone of your lawn. This enables your lawn to have a stronger root system, which translates into a thicker and healthier lawn. Plus, the cores contain microorganisms that will break down the thatch into healthy organic matter. Custom Lawn & Landscape can show you a core sample that will determine if your lawn is ready to be aerated.

Verticutting can be useful for the preparation of a good seedbed but can also be harmful to your existing lawn. Custom Lawn & Landscape can determine whether verticutting will help or harm your lawn. aeration and seeding 2

Grass seed, applied to your lawn just prior to aeration, will germinate more readily and create a thicker, hardier lawn that is easier to manage. Custom Lawn & Landscape uses varieties of grass seeds that are genetically darker green and more drought & disease resistant.
