To keep your Kingwood-area lawn healthy and growing steadily, there are a few essential maintenance tasks that must be performed. One important aspect of successful lawn upkeep is lawn aeration. When your lawn’s soil becomes compacted, it takes effective aeration to put your lawn back on track to consistent growth. Compacted soil can damage your lawn’s grass, as well as its root systems, stunting plant development and increasing your lawn’s risk of developing a lawn disease or weed infestation. At Lawn Doctor of Kingwood-Humble, our technicians administer our professional lawn aeration service to improve the health of lawns all over the Kingwood, Humble, New Caney, Porter and Huffman, TX areas.
When Lawn Aeration Becomes Necessary
Lawn aeration is most effective when performed annually. The exact schedule for aeration will differ from lawn-to-lawn, depending on the type of grass populating it, but it should generally be performed in the spring, early summer, or fall. Although this annual pre-growing season aeration yields the best results, additional aeration may be needed throughout the year for damaged or compaction-prone lawns. Here are some indicators that your lawn could need additional aeration:
- The appearance of brown spots on your grass
- The formation of puddles on your lawn during light rainfall
- Slowed or stopped grass growth
- Vehicles or machinery frequently parked on the grass
- Lawn damage from excessive outdoor activity, entertaining, sports or construction
Aeration Benefits for the Kingwood Area
Regular aeration goes a long way in keeping your yard healthy. One of the biggest benefits of lawn aeration is the increased permeability it brings to your yard. Your lawn’s roots depend on access to oxygen, water and heat to grow, and compacted soil can seal off that access. We’ll create new channels in the surface of your lawn with our core aeration equipment to restore soil permeability and reinstate your roots’ access to these external elements. Another key benefit of regular aeration is improved root development. Compacted soil can provide your roots with a fixed space in which to grow. Aeration loosens the soil to allow the roots to grow and expand freely for denser, stronger networks.
