Simply Organic Atlanta Aeration and Overseeding
Fescue is a cool-season grass that does its best growing during the winter and sometimes struggles in Atlanta’s severe summer heat. Unlike self-spreading warm-season grasses, Fescue needs help getting thicker and filling in the bare patches summer leaves behind and needs to be overseeded in the fall.
How overseeding and aeration go together:
Since Fescue doesn’t self-spread, we apply seeds over your existing grass – overseed – to fill in bare patches and make it grow thicker and lusher. Overseeding works best when preceded by aeration, which gives seeds a safe place to germinate.
What aeration does for your Fescue lawn:
- Removes plugs of soil so vital water, nutrients and air can reach its roots.
- Loosens compacted soil so it can better absorb water and fertilizer.
- Helps your grass breathe.
- Strengthens its root structure.
- Increases its resistance to heat and drought.
- Makes it lusher and more resilient.
What overseeding does for your Fescue lawn:
- Sows seeds over existing grass and bare patches.
- Helps your grass spread and fill in thin areas.
- Makes your grass thicker and fuller.
Why we recommend both:
Aeration helps seeds stay safely in place, nestled in newly created pockets of soil where they can germinate. By giving your turf a stronger, deeper root structure, aeration also maximizes the growth potential of both your new and existing Fescue grass.
