AERATION: Core aeration is critical to get oxygen and vital nutrients to the roots of your lawn. Compacted soil prevents grass from establishing a healthy root system. Once the soil is aerated, air exchange improves and the soil can easily absorb water, fertilizer and other nutrients.

LIME: Lime is used to neutralize acidic conditions in your soil. If you lawn gets acidic, your lawn has a hard time growing and turning green. Weeds also prefer acidic soil. A good treatment of lime will get your soils PH back to the correct levels which will promote good lawn health. The clay soil found here in Virginia is normally acidic and will usually benifit from a lime treatment. Dirty Work Lawn Care can do a PH test on your lawn to verify if you need a lime treatment or not. Give us a call. 

Overseeding: Overseeding will improve a lawn significantly and make it much harder for weeds to become established in your yard. Grass needs to be revitalized every few years or when there has been drought situations in your area. Overseeding compensates for that natural slowdown of the turf's reproduction. We will pick the correct grass seed for you and your yards needs.


Fertilization: One of the biggest benefits of fertilizing in the fall is to promote your lawn's root system. Your lawn needs to toughen up to survive winter. Fertilizer will help your lawns roots take a growth spurt. This improved root system will be able to absorb higher amounts of water and soil nutrients. The result will be in the spring, your yard will be green and looking good before anyone else's does. A strong root system also works to prevent weeds from entering your yard. Call Dirty Work Lawn Care to get the proper mix of fertilizer applied to your yard.
