Additional Services We Provide

Core Aeration: Core aeration involves the removal of small soil plugs or cores out of the lawn. The best time to aerate cool season lawns of tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass is in late August to mid September. Warm season lawns like Bermuda grass and zoysia grass are best aerated during June and July, as this is their period of rapid growth. Core aeration can benefit your lawn by:

• Increasing the activity of soil microorganisms that decompose thatch.
• Increasing water, nutrient and oxygen movement into the soil.
• Improving rooting.
• Enhancing infiltration of rainfall or irrigation.
• Helping prevent fertilizer and pesticide run-off from overly compacted areas.

Verti-Slicing:  Verti-slicing involves the slicing of the soil approximately ¼ inch deep to allow seed to take root easier.  Typically recommended for lawns with bare spots or for total renovation.

Seeding:  Spot seeding to total renovation with a variety of seed available specifically developed for the Kansas City area.  We recommend fall seeding.  The fall and winter months allow ample moisture and good temperatures for the young grass to grow.  The summer heat is tough on most varieties of grass.
