Know what aerating can do for your lawn? If you’re like many homeowners across the Brewster area, you’ve heard of it, yet don’t fully understand the process or the benefits. At Lawn Doctor of Putnam County and Southern Dutchess County, we’re here to help. We know lawn aeration is actually one of the simplest and best steps you can take in your lawn to ensure optimal health, beauty, and color. Here’s why.
What is lawn aeration? There are a few different ways to aerate, but we always suggest the core aeration approach for homeowners in the Brewster area. This is proven to be the most thorough method available while also delivering longer-lasting results.
With it, a machine mechanically removes soil plugs from your property, resulting in small openings left behind. These holes then serve as channels for resources, like oxygen, sunlight, water, and nutrients to make their way into the soil and circulate through to the root zone.
Why does your lawn need aeration? Because soil compaction and thatch build-up happen. When it comes to compaction, it results in tightly packed particles that squeeze and pressure the root system. This not only puts stress on it and prevents roots from breathing properly, but also hinders water and nutrients from getting absorbed. On the surface, thatch compounds the problem by walling off vital essentials from flowing to the root zone. Aeration alleviates all this, easing compaction and dissolving heavy thatch so roots can get what they need for excellent health.
What are the signs to look for? There are many symptoms homeowners can look for, such as:
- Standing water after rain
- Weak growth and discoloration
- Vulnerability to heat, drought, weeds, diseases, and pests
