Your lawn is a unique environment. A soil test helps guide your efforts to improve it. The test will provide information on your lawn's soil type, nutrient levels, and pH level. Most lawns need feeding only twice a year, spring and fall, with an organic, slow release fertilizer. Organic fertilizers break down more slowly than synthetic ones and come from natural sources such as seaweed, blood meal and manure. It's not beneficial to water everyday. Your lawn needs slow, deep watering to sustain and enhance root growth - about a inch of water per week depending on the time of year and daily temperature.
The process of mechanically removing small plugs of thatch and soil from the lawn is commonly called core aeration. This is different than other soil cultivation practices, such as spiking and slicing. If the service is not performed when and where it's needed it can create problems for a customer's lawn. Performed incorrectly or at the wrong time, such as during an extended drought, aeration can damage turgrass. Obviously, if the lawn is rock hard and the aeration unit does not penetrate the soil to a sufficient depth, the service offers few benefits to a customer's lawn.
