Schedule Your Spring Aeration
We've talked about lawn aeration before, but now is an important time to remind you how important it can be for proper lawn care and a healthy yard. Lawn aeration should be performed in the fall and-or spring to give your yard the care and attention it needs. Lawn Doctor of Annapolis is the best lawn care company in the Chesapeake Bay area and we are here to help explain the process and take care of your lawn so you can enjoy a beautiful green space when the weather warms up.
When soil compaction happens, it stops water and air movement to the root system, limiting growth. Over time, it can even suffocate them. That’s where lawn aeration from Lawn Doctor of Annapolis comes in. With it, we can create improved conditions like:
Lawn aeration is a process that creates space in the soil of your lawn for water and nutrients to properly reach the root system of the grass. By breaking open the soil, we are giving your lawn a better chance to get what it needs to thrive.
Kids, pets, vehicles, house guests, and other activities can compact the soil in your yard, pressing it together so tightly that the roots of the grass can't get enough water or nutrients. When that happens, the roots become overly stressed and weak. If the problem isn't taken care of, your grass may start to die, leaving unsightly brown patches throughout the yard.
When soil gets too compacted around the roots of your lawn, you may start to notice some obvious signs that mean it's time for aeration. Some of those include standing water that’s not getting absorbed, thinning grass, and a greater susceptibility to weeds and pests. If your soil composition has a high volume of clay, then it is even more prone to getting overly compact.
Some homeowners want to try to aerate their lawn on their own by renting a machine. However, if you would rather avoid this unwieldy and expensive equipment, call in the local lawn aeration experts at Lawn Doctor of Annapolis. It can be especially hard to aerate on your own after a hard winter. We take a proven approach, timed carefully for your specific grass type. We put our exclusive Turf Tamer® equipment to use in a process called core aeration. This process cores out small plugs of grass and soil from around your yard to solve the problem of over-compacted ground.
Through this process, we break down heavy thatch growing on your soil surface, and we get air, water, and nutrients flowing back into your soil. Once your lawn can breathe again, roots will grow stronger and deeper, leading to a more vigorous-looking lawn. Beyond aerating your lawn, our team can seed too if you’d like to enhance grass thickness, color, and consistency.
Give us a call to learn more about lawn aeration and if it might be right for your lawn in the spring. We would love to help give you the lush, healthy lawn of your dreams!
