Weeding is one of those chores that is really easy to put off. Most homeowners believe that mowing over them is enough, but once they take hold, they spread quickly and compete with your lawn and plants for water, nutrients, and sunlight.
Weeds can creep into your garden beds and into the cracks and edges of hard surfaces, causing further damage. Crabgrass, in particular, is a very aggressive grower; it spreads quickly by producing thousands of seeds in just one season, which creates patchy areas that are difficult to remedy. It crowds out healthy grass, and by the time it’s fully visible, it’s already started dropping seeds that will sprout the following year. Once mid-summer hits, it’s too hot and dry for the grass to recover.
Our routine weed control services in Manlius will keep these aggressive weeds from getting out of control. By removing weeds early and consistently, we’ll make sure that your grass and plants have access to the water, nutrients, and sunlight they need to grow.
Before aeration begins, our team will remove any debris (sticks, leaves, etc.) and mow the lawn. This will ensure the aeration machine can work properly across the entire lawn.
Next, we use an aeration machine to pull small plugs of soil out of the ground; typically about 2-4 inches deep. We leave the plugs on the lawn to break down naturally and let those nutrients soak back into the soil. The holes that we created will allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots more easily.
At Summit, we do offer optional add-on services that can give your lawn an extra boost. Usually, we recommend seeding services along with aeration; seeding will add new grass seeds directly into the holes we created, thickening your lawn.
Over the next few weeks, the plugs will break down, which will help improve the structure of your lawn, allowing watering and mowing to resume as usual.
