Aerate Your Lawn For Healthier Grass

April 14, 2011 by Chad Gillikin

Here in the South, spring or fall are the best times for aeration.  In our area, heavy clay soils require frequent aeration, but check with your local officials to determine what is best for your yard.  I use a Husqvarna GTH-26 garden tractor to pull my Agri-Fab Plug/Core Aerator with 100 pounds of concrete block […]

August 2, 2010 by Chad Gillikin

  This weekend was one of the hottest in years with triple digit highs and heat index of more than 110 degrees, so outside work was kept to very little.  Since my neighbors were having a reunion on Saturday, I went out early to cut the grass along the shoreline and to blow the driveways […]
