Better Lawn Treatments - Aerate, Seed, Fertilize
The key to effective and eco-friendly lawn maintenance is to work with nature - not in spite of it.
At EcoCut, this has meant developing a system of lawn care that:
- Encourages healthy grass from the root level up, by using powered mechanical treatments - usually plug aerating
- Uses organic composts, fertilizers and grass seed instead of synthetic fertilizer and pesticides
- Combines proper watering and cutting techniques to create a healthy, oxygen producing lawn
The result is our Better Lawn treatment. It's better than organic - it's natural.

Why Aerate & Seed?
An enemy of lawns is soil compaction. Soil compaction is a frequent cause of turf deterioration. It's caused by lawn traffic, like walking and mowing. Soil compaction is greatest (or worse) in the top 2" to 3" of the soil. When soil gets compacted by walking or mowing, dirt particles are forced together. This is a big problem because it reduces the area where your lawns roots can grow.
Aerating lawns just makes sense. For you to maintain a healthy lawn through periods of stress, your lawn soil needs water, air, and nutrients in the top 6" to 10". Soils that are hard and compacted have no nooks and crannies to hold the water, air, or nutrients. Without these crucial components root growth is virtually impossible and greatly impeded to say the least. If your lawns roots aren't growing, the grass won't develop the root system that is essential to survive in hot/dry or harsh/cold periods.
Applying seed after you aerate the lawn ensures that you have good soil connection between your lawn and the seed. The plugs will break down and provide a topdressing for the seed as well. If you keep the seed bed moist for the 10 - 14 days following the treatment the seed will germinate, your lawn will increase it's root length and your lawn will be healthier.
