Rather than forcing spikes into the lawn and compressing the lawn more, Ryan aerators are true core aerators.
These machines cost $6000 each.

These aerators remove small plugs of soil.

So we aerate either early-spring, or in the fall.
We aerate in the early spring and fall, not only because your lawn will respond strongest to the aeration at that time, but because aerators work better when the grass is moist.

Fertilizer is composed of:
Nitrogen (N) for green leaf growth,
Phosphorus (P) for root development,
and Potassium (K) for overall vigor and stress tolerance
