Hello Everyone, Looking to see what the going rate is for slice seeding with aerating and fertilizer in New England ? I do a little every year I’m currently at .20-.24 per sq ft depending on the terrain etc , I’m looking to add more but I think I’m on the high side But also need to make money...

How about: 1) mow low-ish, then 2) throw down seed, then 3) aerate? It’s not likely that seeds would fall into core holes anyway, but this process would 100% prevent that. And rolling the aerator over the lawn and pulling cores to the top would increase seed-to-soil contact. Especially once...

So I do both lawn care and landscaping and I like to kind of use my own property as a place to test and experiment with different plants and techniques that I may not have much experience with before I begin selling those services to others. With this in mind my back lawn has been a pretty big...

Just wondering if it's completely necessary to overseed a yard after it's been aerated. I'll be adding aeration to a couple of our package deals, but I haven't been able to find any info on whether or not strictly aerating without overseeding will have any negative effects on the yard. As far as...

Good evening to all, I have a lawn maintenance client who would like some options for renovating their backyard lawn area. I have suggested either seeding a new lawn or putting in sod. This would be the first lawn renovation project that I will do if I get the job. Attached are some photos of...

Hello All, I've been renovating my house for the last few years and I'm planning on finishing this winter and hopefully putting it on the market during the spring/summer. I have a lot of oak trees in my yard, which is great for shade but sucks come fall time. Most of my Saturdays are spent...

So, I aerated my yard then added fertilizer followed by Tall Fescue Seed. I bought some Compost & Manure. Should I add a layer on top of the seed or is this not necessary? If not, when would be a good time to add the compost? I read that compost should be added before fertilizer and seed...

Greetings all. First post. Great site, read it often. Lawn is mostly TTTF with some other stuff mixed in with some weak areas. My plan is to overseed in a few weeks by: mowing to one inch, dethach, core aerate, seed, starter fertilizer, water. Question is how to get to one inch. Currently...

I have a established 21 year old company with 3 thousand aerating customers located in northern California and we’re starting a slit-seeding operation, the watering restrictions and drought has somewhat damaged most of the lawns here, but I can not find anywhere pricing for a normal 2300 sq...

Hi all, I'm in northern New Jersey and have a problem that's been driving me nuts. Every year I like to do a core aeration and overseed, which has thus far yielded a pretty decent lawn. The problem is poa annua germination in the spring. From what I'm seeing, to control PA I need to put down...

We keep finding ways to use the Walker Mower. It has a seat, most power rakes do not. Switches back to GHS deck for vac up in about 5 minutes. We use it for overseed prep and seed incorporation as well.

My client's lawn is mostly weeds now. I'm afraid to kill the weeds and have nothing left but soil. Before hiring me, he never fertilized the Centipede sod. And now his lawn is at least 75% weeds. I gave him a few options like fertilize or just redo the sod. But what about over seeding? Can I put...
