Improving Turf Density - Seeding

Seeding should be considered to be part of your regular maintenance program. The effectiveness of the seed germination rate will partially depend upon the quality of seed soil contact achieved from the seeding application method. Typically a mechanical slit seeding in conjunction with over seeding into an appropriate top dressing will deliver the best results. Guaranteed Turf Care’s consultants will determine the best cultivars for your growing conditions as well as the best application methods.

Improving Turf Density - Core Aeration

Improving turf density is a function of improving the growing power of your soil in conjunction with a continuous seeding program. Improving the growing power of your soil is accomplished with core aeration and topdressing maintenance services.

Core aeration is a mechanical process that places seven finger size holes into the soil every square foot. The holes immediately fill with oxygen; these oxygen rich holes encourage immediate expansion of your root system into the open air spaces and improve the availability of water and nutrients to the plant as well. Applying a top dressing into the holes after a core aeration is an effective way to correct the growing power of the soil.
