Lawn Aeration (Core Aerating)
To ensure a healthy lawn it is often necessary to aerate the lawn. Aerating or Core Aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil & thatch using an aerating machine. Removing these cores reduces soil compaction and helps break up the thatch layer so that water, air and nutrients can reach the root system.
A healthy deep root system is essential in the hot & dry climate of Kamloops. Compacted soil with a thick thatch layer will cause roots to grow closer to the surface making them susceptible to drought.
We recommend aerating your lawn once a year, either in the early spring or fall.
Lawn Dethatching (Power Raking)
Dethatching or Power Raking your lawn is the process of removing excess thatch and debris using a power raking machine. Excessive thatch and debris can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the root system.
Dethatching vs Power Raking
While the two terms are often interchangeable, there is a difference. Dethatching is a more aggressive process for extremely thick thatch layers while Power Raking is much less aggressive. In simple terms, Dethatching can be described as ripping through the thatch layer, while Power Raking is more like combing the thatch layer.
If your lawn feels very spongy (indicating a thick layer of thatch) the aggressive Dethatching process may be necessary, however for most lawns the less aggressive Power Raking method is sufficient.
We recommend power raking your lawn in the early spring or late fall
Lawn Fertilizing
In addition to lawn mowing, aerating and power raking we can also fertilize your lawn to ensure that your lawn is receiving the nutrients necessary for a healthy lawn. We use high quality lawn fertizer to ensure even feeding with long lasting results and no "burning."
We recommend fertilizing your lawn in the early spring, late spring and early fall.
