Preparing Your Smithtown & Selden Soil for Fall Aeration & Seeding

Setting the Stage for Success

If you're planning on seeding in a few weeks, the work actually starts now. You can't just throw seed on dry, weed-choked ground and expect results — and homeowners in Smithtown, Selden, and Centereach who skip this step are usually the ones disappointed with thin results come October.

The "Sponge" Strategy

Think of your soil like a sponge. If it's bone-dry, the new seed won't stand a chance.

• Control the Weeds: Get existing weeds under control now so new grass has room to breathe.
• Pre-Hydrate: Start watering your thin areas now to soften the ground for aeration.

At LawnProNY, we use the highest-rated seed blends specifically chosen for the Long Island climate, but even the best seed needs a healthy home to thrive.
