09/17/2009: "Fall Seeding and Topdressing"
Well it is that time of year again where aerating, seeding and topdressing are in order. This is the best time to establish a good base that will make the lawn look great next spring and give the grass a jump on the weeds. Topdressing is very important in soils that lack adequate organic matter as well as lawns that need to reduce thatch. The combination of topdressing, mechanical aeration and seeding followed by dragging with a mat will really improve the soil which in turns supports good turf growth. Have a great fall season.
