Hartley Lawn Aeration

About Hartley Lawn Aeration

Lizard Butte keeps its long watch over the bend where the Snake River slows past Marsing, and the lawns below it grow in ground that irrigation water and August heat pack hard as a road. Hartley Lawn Aeration opens that soil back up — core plugs pulled in tidy rows, seed worked down into the holes, air and water reaching roots that had been shut out. The best hour is early, when the canal banks are still cool and the light has not yet climbed over the Owyhees, because that is when the ground gives easiest. Mowing, edging and feeding carry on from there, so the turf that comes back after a pass stands thicker and more even than the one that went in. Marsing, Homedale, Wilder and the orchard benches of Sunnyslope across the river are all an easy run down the highway.
