Did you know there are hidden enemies in your lawn? Soil compaction and thatch build-up not only stop water and key nutrients from getting absorbed, but compaction actually suffocates grass roots. Both typically go undetected until telltale signs are seen, like weak growth and standing water in your lawn. What can you do? With aeration from Lawn Doctor of Clarksville-Nashville, we make it easy to cut down on compaction and thatch build-up so your lawn can flourish and thrive again.
How to Tell if Your Lawn Needs Aeration
Does your lawn get heavy use from kids and pets? Do you regularly park vehicles on it? Do you have clay soils? Are you noticing standing puddles of water that aren’t getting absorbed? At Lawn Doctor of Clarksville-Nashville, we know these all indicate your lawn needs aeration. Another simple way to tell is with the screwdriver test. If you can’t easily dig a screwdriver into the soil, your lawn is likely suffering from compaction and thatch build-up and should be aerated.
When to Perform Lawn Aeration
At Lawn Doctor of Clarksville-Nashville, we recommend lawn aeration services be performed in the fall. This is the optimal time for aerating your lawn and provides the best results. In conjunction with lawn aeration, we recommend seeding your lawn. Combining aeration and seeding helps your lawn to grow thick and lush in the coming months.
How Lawn Aeration Works
There are two ways to aerate your lawn: spike aeration and core aeration. At Lawn Doctor of Clarksville-Nashville, we use core aeration because it’s more effective and produces longer lasting results. With this approach, we use specialized equipment to core out small plugs of soil and thatch around your yard. Combining professional lawn aeration and seeding provides a variety of benefits, including:
- Helps grass roots to grow stronger and deeper
- Helps lawns absorb more heat, nutrients, and moisture
- Improves tolerance to environmental stressors, like drought
- Enhances the overall health and appearance of your yard
These benefits don’t happen overnight. But you can expect to see a thicker, more luscious lawn in the weeks and months ahead when you combine aeration with lawn seeding services.
