Help your lawn stay lush, green and healthy with aeration, overseeding and topdressing with AxisDE.

We will soon be visiting our lawn care clients to do aeration and overseeding. Aeration helps bring air and water to lawn roots and stimulates root and shoot growth. Overseeding thickens the lawn so it can outcompete weeds. We also offer topdressing with compost as an additional service.

This year we are offering a new product for lawn topdressing. AxisDE is a porous mineral called diatomaceous earth. This kiln-fired soil amendment is produced from pure diatomite deposits found in the Nevada mountains. It is made up of trillions of microscopic unicellular plant skeletons called diatoms.

The primary function of AxisDE is to correct or modify soil conditions that limit root growth. AxisDE does not contain additives and is OMRI listed for organic use.

AxisDE benefits for landscaping:

• Brings oxygen to root zone
• Improves root growth and microbial activity
• Reduces compaction
• Balances air and water in soil
• Increases infiltration of nutrients
• Buffers soil temperature
• Makes water more available to plants
• Improves drainage
• Reduces impact of temperature extremes
• Removes undesirable salts

You will need to water over the summer to help AxisDE soak into the soil. You will be able water more deeply and less often and also make the most of any natural rainfall. According to the manufacturer, people using the product on their lawns have documented water savings of 30% or more.
