Aeration and Seeding in Louisville, KY

September 9, 2024

Did you know that a strong spring lawn actually starts now? Our area has a lot of dense, clay soil which can make it tough for water, nutrients, and oxygen - the essentials for plant health - to get to the roots of your grass plants. Aeration pulls “plugs” or “cores” out of the lawn to help reduce compaction and improve the flow to the roots. Followed up with broadcast seeding - or overseeding as it is often called - and you have a great combination of services to help your lawn thrive and naturally prevent weeds in the future


The best weed prevention strategy is to eliminate thin areas where the weeds can compete for space. If your lawn has good density and a consistent fertilization and weed control program, you’re going to see good results. 


If you haven’t aerated or seeded within the past few years - it is probably time! Grass plants life span is about 7 - 10 years so regular replenishment is important. Contact us today to schedule your aeration and seeding before the window for this season closes.

Your lawn care shouldn't stop at the end of the summer. Fall and winter are critical times for your lawn's overall health and root development.

At WLS, we believe every home deserves to shine and the landscape is an integral part of showcasing your home's natural beauty. Recently, we worked on a property for our long-time customer in Highview, KY where the front shrubs and trees had become overgrown and were hiding the home’s features. The challenge for this particular property included overgrown shrubs blocking walkways and windows, extra foliage crowding the foundation beds, and a general need for reshaping and refreshing the landscape.

Our customer in the Highview area called to get the shrubs around their home trimmed. We trimmed and shaped the hedges in the front of the house below the window sill which maximized the amount of natural sunlight being let into the home. This is especially important during the cooler weather to allow maximum airflow when the windows are open and naturally provide heat to the home's interior.
