Your lawn will be greener and darker than ever before! greenbladewinnipeg.ca | 204.837.1764 Save Money! Save Water! DON’T FORGET AERATION! PROMOTES OPTIMUM LAWN HEALTH. Where do you find perfectly manicured turf that makes you green with envy? If your mind quickly races to visions of the fairways and greens of your local golf course, you are not alone. It’s not coincidence that these acres of grass remain green and healthy spring, summer, and fall. Golf course superintendents know that core aeration is a vital component in any lawn care plan. If annual aeration is a key in the success of healthy turf at the best golf courses, it makes sense that you should make it part of your lawn care plan. Core aeration effectively “opens the pores” of compacted soils and reduces unhealthy thatch buildup. Compaction and thatch are the primary obstacles that keep nutrients, water, and air from reaching the root structure. Remember, it’s the health of what’s hidden below the surface that determines the appearance of the lush green lawn that we all enjoy. Water and nutrients are not intended for the green upper portion of your grass plants. Core aeration allows your irrigation and fertilizer investment to truly go further for you. You will easily recover the cost of the core aeration through a lower water bill. Every rainfall will penetrate deeper into your lawn resulting in less watering, better results from your program, and a more vibrant lawn. It’s a common sense practice that works! Maximum performance! Less watering! Smart decision! Top Dressing Introduce vital new nutrients and microbes to your lawn.
