Breathe New Life Into Your Lawn With Aeration and Seeding
Your lawn needs to breathe just like you do. Heavy foot traffic and weather conditions in Virginia can cause soil to become compacted over time, restricting the flow of air, water, and nutrients to grass roots. According to turf specialists, a properly aerated lawn absorbs up to 300% more water and nutrients than compacted soil.
