As temperatures continue to rise, your lawn needs your attention once again. At Lawn Doctor of Camp Hill-Mechanicsburg, we can provide it. This is an ideal time of year in Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, and other nearby areas in PA for many services, including lawn aeration. Even if your yard looks healthy, this treatment will help your grass recover after a long winter and grow in thicker and greener in the months ahead. Here’s how our process works and why you should consider it.

Ways Aeration Can Improve Your Lawn

When your lawn experiences a lot of foot traffic or use, soil gets compacted over time. Heavy surface thatch can also grow in and block out sunlight. In addition, pounding rains and heavy snow further add to the problem. That’s where lawn aeration comes in.

At Lawn Doctor of Camp Hill-Mechanicsburg, we use a technique called core aeration to perform the job. With specialized machinery, we’ll cut out small soil plugs from across your lawn. This allows it to breathe again by alleviating compaction and thatch. It also:

  • Gets more water and nutrients into the root zone.
  • Stimulates deeper, more robust root growth.
  • Smooths out bumpy areas in your lawn.
  • Leads to more beauty and thicker growth in the weeks to come.

Once we’re done aerating, we can also seed your lawn. It’s the ideal time since more soil is exposed and seeds are likely to get settled in and germinate. This means results will be thicker once the grass starts to grow in.

If, however, you’d like to handle aeration on your own, just be sure your grass is out of dormancy and actively growing, so it can fill the holes where plugs were removed. It’s also helpful to water your lawn a day before to soften the soil.
