Core Plug Aeration with Holganix 243

If you are going to have your lawn core plug aerated, it’s a good idea to have an application of Holganix 2-4-3 applied simultaneously. Incorporating 2-4-3 Holganix along with aeration is about adding the following in a natural organic format.

  • High carbon food sources
  • Phosphorus
  • Potassium
  • Calcium
  • And Beneficial biology

Benefits

  • Enhanced turf recovery
  • Organic phosphorus enhances rooting
  • Organic potassium increases stress tolerance
  • Calcium helps loosen compacted soils and remediate salts on the surface
  • Carbon is a food source that sustains beneficial soil biology
  • Holganix inoculates the soil with additional beneficial microorganisms, i.e., mycorrhizae
  • Active biology promotes a healthy soil environment for all plants, providing greater access to nutrients and water and improving soil texture, gradually reducing soil compaction and increasing drainage

Removal of Soil Plugs

Core plug aeration removes plugs consisting of both soil and thatch from the lawn and creates holes in the soil. The plugs are left on the surface of the lawn as they have microorganisms and nutrients in them that nourish the lawn. Over time, usually 2-3 weeks, the plugs will decompose and fade away. The holes in the soil provide immediate relief from soil compaction. The net result of having aerated a lawn is that the root system has more access to air, water, and nutrients. The soil can then take in more water, the roots can expand and grow deeper into the soil which will help the turf to better withstand hot temperatures. As an added bonus, Core Plug Aeration helps to reduce our carbon footprint by reducing water runoff into the sewer system.

Soil Compaction

Soil compaction is the root cause of the need for core plug aeration. It occurs over time from traffic on the lawn (walking, playing, pets, mowing- particularly in the same pattern where the tires touch the turf). Also, rain itself and watering mechanisms such as lawn sprinklers can help to increase soil compaction by compacting soil and eliminating/reducing air pockets where the root system of the lawn may grow. Core plug aeration ultimately results in an improvement in-depth for the root system, resulting in the natural breakdown of thatch- another contributor to soil compaction.

Benefits of Core Plug Aeration

  • A lawn doesn’t need to be watered as often as the root system is more open to receive water.
  • There is less of a runoff effect from water, and water pooling is often eliminated or reduced.
  • Increased ability for the lawn to take in:
  • Water
  • Fertilizers
  • Nitrogen
  • Oxygen
  • Increased heat and drought tolerance.
  • Improved rooting.
  • Increased natural thatch breakdown.
  • Reduced soil compaction.

Dethatch Service

Dethatching is the process of removing thatch from your lawn. Thatch is a layer of dead and living organic matter that can build up over time and cause problems for your lawn. Ultimately, Dethatching is important because it helps prevent problems like compaction, thatch build-up, unhealthy grass and lawn disease.

The best time to Dethatch your lawn depends on the types of grass you have. Warm season grasses tend to benefit from late Spring dethatching while cool season grasses tend to fair well when dethatched in late Summer or early Fall.

I Cut Grass LLC has the experience and ability to complete Dethatching services for your lawn so you don't have to tend with the chore yourself as it can be a time consuming and messy process. Once the Dethatching has been completed we will haul away the debris for you so you don't have several bags of thatch left to dispose of. Talk about a great investment!

  • Root system is exposed to more water, nutrients and air.
  • Reduced soil compaction.
  • Reduced lawn disease.
  • Healthier turf.
  • Increased water leaching.
  • Decreased environmental exposure to herbicides/fertilizers from runoff through the sewer system.
  • Decreased carbon footprint.

Leaf Removal

Our leaf removal service is designed to remove as many leaves from your property as we are capable of removing. Leaves are hauled away to a farm where they are eventually processed into mulch and compost.
