• Weed Reduction: Disturbs weed roots and seedbeds, reducing weed growth and competition for nutrients.

Improved Lawn and Landscape:

• Optimal Seeding Bed: Creates an ideal environment for seeding, ensuring better germination and establishment of new grass.
• Sod Installation: Prepares the soil for sod installation, ensuring good contact between sod and soil for quick rooting and growth.
