Why the Upstate needs it more than most
Lawn aerification provides air filtration to the soil, relieves compaction, and improves water and nutrient uptake for the turf. In the Upstate that matters more than it does in most of the country, because what is under your lawn is Piedmont red clay — dense, slow-draining, and quick to compact under foot traffic, mowers and summer storms.
Warm season grasses like Bermuda, Zoysia and Centipede need aerification in the heat of the summer to maximize nutrients. Cool season grasses like fescue benefit from aerification in early fall, to allow for efficient gas exchange in the soil heading into their strongest growing window.
We recommend aerification for all of our clients, and we especially encourage owners of fescue lawns to consider it. Our aerification and seeding programs use non-chemical, cultural practices to enhance the overall health of the turf.
