If you want to grow healthy and resilient turf, there are a few things you need to get right. One of them is lawn aeration, a process that allows air and water to filter through your lawn’s soil. Unfortunately, many lawns in Nolensville, TN suffer from poorly aerated soil.
The good news? With services from Lawn Doctor of Clarksville-Nashville, it’s easy to fix aeration problems on your property!
What Are the Benefits of Lawn Aeration?
Almost every homeowner understands the importance of watering and fertilizing their lawn. But not as many grasp what makes lawn aeration so important.
There are a number of important ways that aeration can help your turf, including:
- Improved Drainage. Aeration loosens the soil, which allows water to filter down to your turf’s roots. If soil is heavily compacted, or if it has a thick layer of thatch on top, water can evaporate before it has a chance to hydrate your turf.
- Enriched Ecosystems. Turf relies on other plants and animals to thrive, many of which live in soil and require oxygen. By aerating your lawn, you’ll encourage a healthy ecosystem under the soil’s surface.
- Stronger Roots. When you aerate your lawn, the roots of your grass will tear and sever apart. That might sound bad, but in reality, it leads to stronger roots. After tearing, roots split and multiply, resulting in healthier, more resilient turf.
The bottom line is this: When your lawn is properly aerated, turf has a chance to thrive. If you neglect aeration, turf will start to struggle.
The effects will be particularly bad in areas where soil is compacted by foot traffic, heavy objects, or pooling water. When soil’s severely compacted, turf stops growing at all, but this can be easily fixed with an aeration treatment!
Core Aeration Services in Nolensville
Our services rely on a technique called core aeration. Core aeration is one of two techniques commonly used for aerating soil, the other being spike aeration.
While spike aeration is popular with DIYers and can be effective in some situations, it struggles to produce results in heavier soils and lawns where there is serious soil compaction. Core aeration, which pulls tiny plugs of soil out of your lawn, is known for handling even the toughest aeration jobs and delivering long-lasting results. That’s why we exclusively rely on this method of aeration.
We proudly offer core aeration services to homeowners in:
- Nolensville
- Clarksville
- Nashville
- Hendersonville
- Franklin
