Dethatching

Thatch is the accumulation of decomposed or undecomposed grass clippings, roots and stems.  It is a breeding place for insects, disease and weed seed germination.  Water, food and weed controls can’t get to where needed with thatch.  Thatch should be kept at a minimum of 1/8-1/4 inch high at most.  Dethatching removes dead grass (not all) from lawns.   April, May, September and October are good times to dethatch.

Aerating

Aeration commonly refers to the process of using mechanized equipment to either puncture the soil with spikes (spike aeration) or remove approximately 1" x 2" cores of soil from the ground (core aeration). Aeration may be overlooked when trying to restore a lawn but is vital to bring it back to health. It improves drainage and reduces puddles formation. Spike aeration involves the use of an aeration machine with spikes up to a foot or more in length. 

It is sometimes used to address drainage issues in areas with turf. Core aeration is done on turf areas as a means of reducing turf compaction, reducing thatch buildup, improving the infiltration of water/nutrients, encouraging deeper roots, and creating an environment where grass seed can have direct contact with the soil.

For optimal effectiveness aeration should be performed at least once annually.  Spring (between March & May) and fall (between August & November) are the ideal time to aerate cool season grasses, such as perennial Rye Grass and Kentucky Bluegrass.

Using the right mulch can help to conserve water, shield your plants' roots from temperature extremes, improve the mena sack soil, and discourage the growth of weeds. Decorative mulch can add color and texture to the space between plants.
