Core Aeration – The mechanical process of removing cores of soil from the lawn to enhances crucial of air exchange in the root zone. Soil from the removed cores is pulverized by mowing. As such, aeration helps reduce soil compaction and thatch, while improving root system, increasing microbial activity, surface water absorption and overall turf density.

 

SoluCal Enhanced Calcitic Lime – An important soil amendment, this specialty lime neutralizes soil acidity more efficiently than traditional lime. In addition, it also supplies essential calcium and natural source carbon and boosts microbial activity for increased nutrient availability/efficiency and thatch decomposition.

 

Disease Control – Helps with control and suppression of turfgrass disease symptoms – Depending on disease type / severity, multiple treatments may be required.

 

SuprSoil® Liquid Soil Conditioner – Designed to supplement mechanical aeration, this specialty, organic based compound of 11 bio-degradable, positive and negative charged polymers are designed to attract similarly charged soil particles, increasing their size and resulting in better soil porosity to help further reduce soil compaction and minimize anaerobic soil conditions. A minimum of 2 treatments is recommended.
