Great lawns don\u2019t just happen spontaneously. There\u2019s a lot of care, planning and preparation that goes into having a yard that\u2019s the envy of the neighborhood, with rich, lush green grass that\u2019s healthy and strong. Having the right Brockton lawn service means you don\u2019t have to do any of the hard work that makes it happen, but you still need to know what services you need and when you need them.<\/p>\n
Today we\u2019re going to talk about lawn aeration, and the role it can play in helping your Brockton yard look its absolute best.\u00a0 Sometimes the soil in our yard gets crushed or matted down. This can be from the kids having a great time, running around and having fun, or it can happen when you need to have heavy equipment in your yard for construction or landscaping purposes. Layers of sod, placed one atop the other over the years, can also contribute to this soil compression.<\/p>\n
When your soil is compressed, it becomes very, very hard for rainwater and other nutrients to make their way down to your grass\u2019 root system, where it\u2019s desperately needed. Aeration is the process of making multiple tiny holes in your lawn, loosening up the soil and making it easier for your grass to be properly watered and nourished.<\/p>\n
Now is a great time to determine if your lawn needs aeration. Go outside and touch the soil. Does it feel as\u00a0 hard as a rock? You need aeration. Other signs that it\u2019s time to call your Brockton lawn service include visible areas of heavy wear, large patches of clover, and, after a rain, standing puddles of water that are extremely slow to drain away.<\/p>\n
Aerating the lawn now will help cool-weather grasses grow more robustly throughout September and early October. It\u2019s a great way to get a head start on making sure next year\u2019s lawn is absolutely awesome.<\/p>\n
