AERATION SERVICES

Aeration is a service that you can access when you believe the soil of your yard is “compacted.” When soil gets compacted, it prevents nutrients and water getting to the root system where it’s needed. Overtime, soil gets compacted down by feet stepping over it, by water running through it and eroding the land and the sun baking it down. The grains of soil grow closer and tighter together until they form a shield for the root system in the moist earth below. It acts as a type of shield that wraps around the top of your lawn, and though you may see grass come through it, you won’t see healthy grass break through very often. That’s where aeration comes in.

Aeration is the act of rolling over the yard and plucking small pieces of earth and grass out of the lawn, all the way down to the root level. The act of creating the holes in the soil allows for more air, water and nutrients to penetrate down to the root level. It also allows the compacted shell of earth to loosen, so the roots can continue to access those things.

Luckily, fall is the perfect time to have an aeration service completed for your lawn. It allows the soil and roots to gain access to all those primary needs right before the grass goes back into dormancy for the winter. This ensures that, year round, you’ll have happy, healthy grass that’s easy to seed in when it gets thinned and easier to take care of as a whole.
