​There is nothing quite like enjoying the physical appeal of a beautiful lush lawn, especially your own that you have invested time and energy into making it so beautiful.  As you may know, maintaining an inviting-looking lawn does not happen without some proper attention and effort.  One vital step to ensuring a healthy lawn is the aeration and fertilizing process.  Some property owners like to perform their own lawn aeration, while others like to hire a professional for help.  Below you will find a list of reasons why a professional may just be the right choice for you.

Aeration is the process of creating holes within the soil in order to allow water, oxygen, grass seeds, and fertilizer the ability to reach deep into the ground and touch the base of the grass roots.  The result is a healthier, heartier lawn.  The holes in the soil are referred to as ‘plugs’ or ‘cores’.  In order to provide your lawn with high-quality care, you may wish to hire a professional to aerate your lawn for you.  Continue reading to learn why.

Lawn Aeration Tips

3/25/2017

Everyone wants a great lawn: lush, a vibrant green, and the envy of the neighborhood. An attractive lawn doesn’t come easily though - it takes a lot of effort, proper care, and maintenance. Not to mention, holistic  lawn care extends beyond just watering regularly and raking leaves; you need to fertilize and aerate your lawn as well.  

Aeration is the process of breaking up the soil by permeating it with a serious of small holes. This allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots of your grass. This is needed most when your lawn’s soil is compacted. This can happen from heavy use and play. It is also common if your home is newly constructed. These days construction companies will typically remove the topsoil (to sell later), and then continuously run over the ground with heavy construction equipment and vehicles, compacting your soil, making it dense and harder for nutrients to reach your lawn’s roots. Aeration is also beneficial if your soil feels dry or is rubbery and spongy. If this is the case for your soil, then it could be suffering from too much random debris such as mulch, sticks, stones, or other non-grass materials.  When correctly done, aeration can help alleviate or even solve these problems.
