Different turf problems need different treatments: aeration targets compaction, overseeding helps restore grass cover, and scarification removes thatch. The right choice starts with the surface. Which would you like explained next? #GreenerGrounds
Greener Grounds: ONE SURFACE. DIFFERENT JOBS. Know what each treatment targets. Aeration: compaction. Overseeding: grass cover. Scarification: thatch. Assessment comes first.

Part of the VGR results come from the maintenance behind the scenes — before and after every job. Keeping filters, valves and injection components clean and serviced is what keeps the machine performing consistently. #GreenerGrounds #VGR #TurfMaintenance
