What does it involve?

Lawn aeration involves using specialized equipment to remove small plugs of soil from your lawn, creating channels that allow essential elements to reach the grass roots more effectively. Here’s how we approach lawn aeration:

• Lawn Assessment: We begin by assessing your lawn to determine its condition and the level of soil compaction. This helps us decide on the best time and method for aeration, ensuring maximum benefits.
• Core Aeration: Our primary method is core aeration, which involves using an aerator machine to pull out small plugs of soil from the lawn. These plugs are left on the surface, where they will break down naturally, returning nutrients back to the soil.
• Overseeding (Optional): After aeration, we may recommend overseeding your lawn. The aeration process creates the perfect environment for new grass seeds to take root, leading to a thicker, healthier lawn.
• Fertilization (Optional): Following aeration, applying fertilizer can further enhance the benefits by delivering nutrients directly to the grass roots through the newly created holes.

How does it work?

Our lawn aeration service is designed to rejuvenate your lawn, making it healthier and more resilient:

• Preparation: We start by carefully assessing your lawn’s needs, taking into account factors like soil type, grass type, and the level of compaction. This helps us determine the best time for aeration, typically during the growing season when the grass can quickly recover.
• Aeration Process: Using a core aerator, we systematically remove small plugs of soil from your lawn, creating channels that improve air, water, and nutrient flow to the roots. This process also helps to reduce thatch buildup and improves the lawn’s ability to absorb water and nutrients.
• Post-Aeration Care: After aeration, we can enhance the benefits by overseeding or applying fertilizer. We also provide guidance on watering and lawn care to help your lawn recover quickly and maintain its improved health.
