50mm of Rain?? It's actually ideal!

For our Organic Sprays especially our aerify product which works far better than core aeration as it gets to the root of the matter which is what you want.

First since it's spring lets take a look at Aerification as it's critical to a healthy lawn which is what we both want to obtain.

With spring finally here it is time to get your lawn ready to be the talk of the street!

You could save up to 30% over typical core (plug) aeration costs with a proven organic solution.
While our company does own and operate core aerators, we have an alternative solution for you to consider.

Why we chose a liquid Organic solution over a core aerator:

· Aerating machines only penetrate 2-3 inches into the root zone and much less on bumpy or thatchy lawns. This is where the soil is already pretty good on a lot of lawns. You want to get into the tougher, more claylike soil 3-8 inches deep to encourage rooting and improve drainage. Our spray will penetrate beyone the existing root zone and additional applications will penetrate even deeper.

· Aerating machines expose weed seeds to light and can cause them to germinate.

· If you do not have a thick lawn then removing plugs of grass and roots with a machine will result in thinning out the lawn.

· Aerating machines poke holes about 6 inches apart. They do not structurally change the soil. Our spray covers 100% of the soil and it actually breaks up the bonds that hold clay particles together.

· Aerating machines can harm tree roots, sprinklers and hidden pipes or wires under the lawn. Our spray is completely safe to use over all lawn areas. And because it penetrates deeper, it will help trees too.

· Aerating machines are only used in the spring and fall when conditions are just right. Our product can be applied at any time!

· Aerating machines leave messy plugs on top of the lawn. Our product leaves no mess at all.
Organic gardeners and horticultural professionals know that one of the secrets to having great lawns and gardens is having great soil. And that means a porous, well aerated soil where roots can grow deeply and where biolife can thrive.

Compacted soils cause unhealthy plants, lawns and trees. They stay soggy when wet, and turn rock hard when they dry out in the summer. When soils are "tight", necessary air, water and nutrients cannot move through the soil. Disease occurs. Roots are stunted. Beneficial micro-organisms can't survive. Plants are stressed and weakened. When you are doing everything else right, soil compaction will ruin all your efforts.

Oakridge Yard Care has a organic liquid spray that is the answer over standard, expensive core aeration, what is does is create a "space" in the soil, allowing roots, water and oxygen to permeate. Once you get oxygen into a clay soil, beneficial microbes will be able to survive. These microbes are needed to turn old roots and organic matter into all-important humus. Once you have humus, ou'll have much better soil quality and structure.

What can you expect?

If you have decent topsoil that has become compacted, our product should be able to give some immediate relief in terms of aeration and drainage. Follow up applications will keep the soil opened up and allow the natural microbial processes to restructure the soil, we always involve our clients and will suggest products as we feel they are required, it is totally up to you if you would like a product applied.
