Why should you aerate your lawn?

Compacted Soil results in poor water drainage, air circulation and nutrient absorption. GRUEsome Grass recommends you aerate your lawn at least once a year. Aeration can be the difference in a healthy beautiful lawn or a poor performing yard. Aeration can help reduce watering leading to a lower water bill.

Why should you fertilize your lawn?
Many different types of fertilizers are available, which can make your choices complicated. It’s best to let a lawn professional determine the type of fertilizer your lawn needs. If you have weeds, for example, you might choose to go with a fertilizer that contains herbicide for controlling weeds.
