Non-Lighting Services

The ever-changing seasons we see here in the Midwest can take their toll on your lawn. Care and maintenance of your lawn will ensure that it stays beautiful through the seasons. For many homeowners, lawn care is standard practice, however many forget the important task of aeration. Here at Chris Light Co, we are dedicated to making sure your lawn is in the best condition possible. There are so many great things that come along with proper lawn care and aeration.

Added Benefits of Aeration

• Reduced Soil Compaction
• Enhanced Thatch Breakdown
• Improved Fertilizer Uptake and Use
• Advanced Air Exchange Between the Soil and Atmosphere

Aerating your lawn can make a lasting difference in the quality of your lawn or turn. This process includes puncturing holes into the soil and grass which helps the roots reach the sustaining and nourishing nutrients that they need to thrive. Our team at Chris Light Co offers aeration services to provide your lawn with the best care possible. Contact us at (913) 851-5882 to schedule aeration for your lawn today!

Verticutting is a process designed to help you rid your yard of thatch, disease, insects, and other debris without damaging the healthy grass blades that make up your yard. Verticutting can be used in combination with other techniques, such as aerating, in order to achieve an even better final product for your lawn. When focusing on lawn maintenance, this step is often looked over but it is extremely important for a healthy lawn. Verticutting allows the grass to absorb nutrients and moisture most efficiently.

Benefits of Verticutting

• Improves Overall Strength and Health of Your Lawn
• Gives Grass Roots Better Access to Oxygen, Nutrients, and Water in the Soil
• Conserves Water

This is installed by burying a pipe underground with an outlet at the end of the pipe that pops open when water is exiting and closes when water stops to prevent any clogs.
