Illinois lawns face several threats throughout the year, from weed infestations to the issues that come during and after winter. A common issue that isn’t often properly addressed is compacted soil. Soil naturally compresses over time, but failing to remedy this problem can spell disaster for your lawn’s overall health. At Lawn Doctor of Belleville-Columbia-Waterloo, we use professional lawn aeration treatments to ease compression in compacted soil and keep local lawns looking their best.
The Benefits of Lawn Aeration
Aerating your lawn regularly keeps it healthy and protected in a long list of different ways. Here’s a brief look at just a few of the many functions that aeration performs to keep your lawn greener and healthier in the long run:
Preventing Thatch Buildup. The combination of organic matter and leaf litter, called thatch, builds up on top of compacted soil and can lead to a long list of issues. Aerating your lawn prevents the buildup of thatch, allowing oxygen and nutrients to more effectively nourish its root systems and keep it healthier from season to season.
Improving Water Circulation. One of the most damaging effects of compacted soil is the restriction of water circulation under the surface of your lawn. Plants need water to stay healthy, and water can’t effectively penetrate soil after it has become compressed. By regularly aerating your home’s outdoor spaces, you’ll ensure that your plants have access to the water they need to stay healthy and thrive over time.
