It
is difficult for water, air and nutrients to pentrate compact
clay soil. The roots of the grass may grow close to the surface
if the water and nutrients are located close to the surface
of the ground. When this happens, the roots are susceptible
to damage from heat stress, foot traffic, and the elements of
weather. The deeper the grass roots are able to go, the thicker
and more healthy your lawn will be.

Seeding |
Aeration |
Late
August, September and October is the best time of year to rejuvenate
your lawn. Lawns grow and develop in cooler temperatures much better
than hot weather. It is suggested that aeration and seeding be done
while the soil temperatures are warm rather than waiting until late
fall. The seed will need to be kept constantly moist for a much
shorter period of time before germination if seeded early in the
fall. The young grass will also have more time to develop before
the colder temperatures come in and slow it down. The better developed
your new grass can be going into the heat of the next summer, the
better chances it will have of surviving the heat, drought and fungus
that can cause irreparable damage. |

CORE
aeration is one of the most important things you can have done to
your lawn each season. It allows more of the water and nutrients
to penetrate deeper into the soil. The limitation of SPIKE aeration
is that it only pokes holes in the lawn, but does not remove the
cores. The health of your grass is related to how deep the root
system is and the ability of your grass to take up and process water
and nutrients. |
