“DENSITY BOOSTER” Program

Improve turf density by treating the soil

Core Aeration
Soils readily compact and lack oxygen which suffocate your grass plants. Breathe life into your grass plants root system by placing seven finger size holes per square foot into the root zone. These oxygen rich holes expand your root system and increase turf density. Recommended a minimum of once per year.

Top Dressing Treatment
Build a denser, healthier turf by improving the quality of your soil. We custom blend your top dressing with the appropriate soils to improve your turfs growing power. Top dressing in combination with core aeration and seeding is and excellent method for building turf density.

Lime or Gypsum Treatment
The density of your turf is reflected by the depth and density of your root system. The health of your root system is as good as the health of your soils.

Soils readily become acidic from rain and the decaying of grass clippings. The acidic soils hinder the root development and growth of bluegrass which grows best in soils that have a neutral PH. Start improving your soils growth potential and improve it’s density with a soil neutralizing lime application. Gypsum is recommended to break up suffocating clay soils.

Slit Seeding - To Improve Turf Density
Guaranteed Turf Care's slit seeders will slice the seed directly into the soil to maximize the seed germination rates. A great way to improve turf density in thinner areas of your lawn.

Over Seeding - To Maintain Turf Density
Grass plants are continually dying and to improve density requires regularly scheduled over seeding. For best results, we recommend over seeding right after a core aeration in the fall. Over seeding in conjunction with an aeration will maximize seed soil contact and improve germination rates.

Spot Seeding - To Repair Unsightly Dead Spots
This is a hand process of cultivating the existing soil, adding topsoil, seed and a water retention mulch to repair unsightly dead spots.

Turf Renovation
Includes removing existing turf, preparing and improving soil with the appropriate soil amendments, and establishing a new turf with seed or sod.

Soil Test
Soil testing reveals valuable information to improve the growing power of your soil.

Grub worms, sod webworms, greenbug and chinch bugs are the most common invaders. Ask our customer service representatives for information about the best control for these common lawn insects.

Lawn Diseases
As temperatures, humidity and rainfall varies, specific climate related fungi become more active. Many of these lawn diseases are cosmetic nuisances that are simply  unsightly. Other diseases can be more harmful and actually kill the root system. Powdery Mildew, rust, dollar spot, smut, red thread and a variety of patch diseases are the most common. Ask our customer service representatives for information about the best control for these common lawn diseases.
