Now that spring is here, your lawn needs some care and attention, especially if you love spending time outside. At Lawn Doctor of Boston, we recommend lawn aeration for those in the Metro West, Needham, and other nearby areas in MA. This will alleviate soil compaction and get more essentials flowing to roots. It will also put your grass on track for thicker growth, brighter color, and more beauty. Here’s how we do it.
Ways Aeration Can Improve Your Lawn
There are several aeration techniques available, but our team relies on the one that’s proven to deliver superior results. It’s called core aeration and uses specialty equipment to cut out small soil plugs from across your lawn. These are left behind on your lawn to decompose, adding more organic matter back into the soil. Once the process is complete, it provides your lawn with many benefits, including:
- More water, oxygen, and nutrients reaching the root system.
- The resources roots need to grow down deeper and better anchor the lawn above.
- Reduced surface thatch that’s trapping in moisture.
- A more uniform look with bumpy areas in your lawn smoothed out.
Once we’re done aerating your lawn, we often recommend seeding. This is a good time for the treatment since more soil is exposed and conditions are better for good seed-to-soil contact. When more seeds reach the soil and germinate, future growth is lush and full.
If you plan to handle seeding and aeration on your own, just make sure your grass is growing actively. If it’s not, the process of aeration can harm your lawn. It won’t be able to grow in vigorously and fill in the holes created by aerating.
