Best Lawncare Aeration & Overseeding Services | Fairfield, CT

Serving Fairfield, CT, Tick & Turf provides professional lawn core aeration & overseeding services that are essential practices in maintaining and improving the health and appearance of a lawn. They involve two distinct but often combined processes that promote healthy grass growth:

1. Fairfield Lawn Aeration Services:

   • What It Is: Aeration is the process of perforating the soil and lawn surface with small holes or plugs at regular intervals. These holes allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil and reach the grassroots more effectively.

   • Why It's Done: Aeration helps alleviate soil compaction, which can occur due to heavy foot traffic, heavy machinery, or soil composition. Compacted soil restricts the movement of air, water, and nutrients, leading to poor grass growth. Aeration improves soil structure and root development, leading to a healthier lawn.

   • How It's Done: Aeration is performed by Tick & Turf using specialized equipment called aerators, which come in various forms, including spike aerators and core aerators. Core aerators remove small plugs of soil from the lawn, while spike aerators create holes by puncturing the soil with spikes.

1. Fairfield Overseeding Services:
   

   • What It Is: Overseeding is the process of spreading grass seed over an existing lawn. This is done to introduce new grass varieties, improve the overall density of the grass, and fill in bare or thin areas.

   • Why It's Done: Overseeding is beneficial for revitalizing an existing lawn, enhancing its color, and increasing its resilience. It can help fill in gaps caused by wear and tear, pests, or disease, leading to a lusher and healthier lawn.

   • How It's Done: Overseeding is usually performed after aeration to maximize seed-to-soil contact. The grass seed is evenly spread across the lawn using a broadcast spreader. Afterward, it's essential to keep the soil consistently moist to encourage germination and establishment of the new grass seedlings.

The combination of aeration and overseeding can significantly improve the overall health and appearance of a lawn by addressing common issues like soil compaction, thinning grass, and bare spots. Our Fairfield lawn care company has the necessary equipment and knowledge.
