By relieving soil compaction, balancing pH, and enriching soil where it matters most, we transform commercial landscapes to be instantly vibrant and sustainably healthy—designed to thrive for years.
Why Combine Aeration and Top-Dressing?
Lawn aeration involves loosening compacted soil to allow better access for water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots of the grass.
Soil Compaction & Thatch Relief
Over time, compacted soil limits root growth and blocks air, water, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. Core aeration relieves compaction and breaks up thatch, enabling your lawn to breathe and flourish.
Nutrient Infusion & Soil Health
Applying high-quality top-dressing—like our Command blend—directly into aeration holes delivers nutrient-rich, pH-balancing material where the grass needs it. This supports soil structure, microbial health, and lasting turf quality.
Levels, Revitalizes, and Strengthens Turf
Top-dressing smooths uneven surfaces and enhances seed germination and root take. The result: thicker grass, improved drainage, stronger resilience against stressors, and enhanced aesthetic appeal.
What Experts Say: Timing & Techniques
Aeration Timing:
Ideal for warm-season grasses (like those used in Northeast Florida) from late spring through summer; for cool- season grasses, early fall is often best. Core aeration is more effective than spike aeration for compaction relief and root growth encouragement.
Top-Dressing Timing
Best applied immediately after aeration so the material falls into the holes—boosting absorption and integration.
Material Choice:
Organic compost or high-quality mixes (like Command) provide microbes, nutrients, and potential pH adjustment —especially beneficial in Florida’s sandy soils.
