How Do I Know if My Lawn Needs Aeration?
Many South Bend residents ask how to tell if their lawn is in need of aeration. We often recommend the screwdriver test as an easy way to judge the aeration needs of your lawn. If you can push a screwdriver or shovel in your lawn’s soil without any difficulty or resistance, the soil is fine. If it is difficult, your soil needs to be aerated. Other common signs of the need for lawn aeration include clay in the soil, puddles in your yard after a rain storm, or if you often park vehicles on the grass.
Why You Need Lawn Aeration
Thatch buildup and soil compaction are the two most common reasons why lawn aeration is needed. These two problems lead to unhealthy lawns because they effectively suffocate the grass. Lawn aeration services open up the grass to be able to breathe and take in nutrients. It also helps strengthen plant roots, improves the effectiveness of lawn fertilization, and allows your lawn to better absorb heat. Our experts can help you determine if your lawn could benefit from aeration and, if so, which kind is right for you.
When is the Best Time in South Bend for Lawn Aeration?
Depending on what type of grass you have, there are optimal times of the year to consider lawn aeration. Our South Bend team knows the local climate and vegetation well and help you determine the best time to aerate. Certain types of grass, like Bermuda or buffalo, benefit from aeration in late spring while others, like ryegrass or bluegrass, are better aerated in early spring or fall.
While some people rent a core aerator to do the job themselves, the cost of the equipment is high and it can be difficult to use. Lawn Doctor of South Bend can take that stress out of your hands with our fully guaranteed lawn aeration service. We will get the job done right so your lawn can grow to its fullest potential.
