This week on Turf Talk, Dan talks about how to protect your trees and shrubs this winter. 

On this month's episode of Turk Talk, Dan tackles the pesky subject of pests. Learn about what home owners can do to deter mice, spiders, ants, and more this fall; plus, what services Spring Green offers to help get rid of those pests.

Overseeding, sometimes called reseeding, is the process of distributing grass seed over an existing lawn. According to information provided by Pennington Seed, there are two primary reasons for seeding existing turf in this manner. First, to either rejuvenate a patchy or thinning lawn or to prevent one. Many grass types will thin out as part of their natural maturing process. Your turf may also develop thinning or bare spots due to the stresses of heavy traffic as well as certain diseases or pests. Simply put, if your lawn is receding, consider reseeding.

Grass seed that cannot get into the soil and receive the necessary moisture and nutrients has a good chance of becoming bird food. Spring-Green’s core aeration service disrupts the surface of the lawn and the soil beneath it by extracting plugs of soil and plant material and then depositing them on the lawn’s surface. This process helps loosen compacted soil and break down thatch, allowing water, nutrients, and grass seed to penetrate the soil. For this reason, we recommend scheduling core aeration and overseeding in combination.
