We've experienced some great weather these past few weeks from Abington to Limerick, however, the lack of rainfall can catch up with your lawn, especially new seed.
Fall is a great time to aerate and seed your lawn. Core aeration is the healthiest thing you can do for your lawn all year besides keeping it fed. Relieving soil compaction, reducing thatch, and improving the flow of air, water, and nutrients to the root zone and helping your lawn 'breathe' are just some of the many benefits.
Keeping new seed moist throughout the germination process, usually 3-4 weeks will help maximize the germination of your seed. Initially, 30-40 minutes of water will help set up the seed, then light, frequent watering, 10-15 minutes per day is typically sufficient.
Remember, keep the leaves up! All seed needs sunlight to germinate. Follow these simple steps and help introduce new, healthy turf varieties into your lawn this fall to help improve the overall density of your lawn.
