Our
company does mechanical core aeration and then overseeds.
The big advantage here is that aeration opens the
soil and provides a better germination area by improving
seed to soil contact. After the seed is planted,
the care you give a new lawn during the first year
is very important. Here are some tips:
- Water,
Water, Water! Frequent watering until seed sprouts
are important. Once they sprout, longer and deeper
soakings are recommended after germination.
- When
the grass is mowing height, go ahead and mow.
- Avoid
weed controls and be sure the new lawn has a steady
suply of fertilizer to speed up establishment.
