Seeing wilting or thinning grass and puddling water? At Lawn Doctor of Southern Cape May County, we know these are signs your lawn needs to be aerated. That’s because soil gets compacted and thatch builds up, stopping the flow of nutrients, water, and air from reaching and feeding grass roots. But with our lawn aeration services – offered in and around Cape May, NJ – we can cultivate healthier soil conditions for better growth, strength, and color in your lawn.
Aerating Your Lawn: What are the Benefits?
Soil compaction and surface thatch are common problems in lawns all over southern New Jersey. However, some experience these issues more than others. This includes when your soil type is clay-based and therefore denser, as well as if your yard gets lots of use, with heavy foot traffic and vehicles driving or parking on it.
You can also tell if your soil is compacted when drainage is poor and water isn’t getting absorbed, and if soil is so hard you can’t easily get a screwdriver or pencil into it. When this happens, consider aeration from Lawn Doctor of Southern Cape May County. Our services can benefit your lawn in many ways, including with:
- A root system that can grow more deeply, producing a stronger lawn
- More efficient use of fertilizer
- Better drainage and water uptake in the soil
- Better air exchange between the soil and atmosphere
- Reduced maintenance requirements
Lawn Aeration Services: How Our Process Works
At Lawn Doctor of Southern Cape May County, we have the industry’s most effective, time-tested aeration approach to deliver optimal, long-lasting results. During the core aeration process, we use our proprietary Turf Tamer® equipment to punch out small soil plugs from around your lawn. We leave these behind because as they decompose, they nourish your lawn and release microbes that consume surface thatch. Not only that, but the aeration holes relieve compaction and create openings for more fertilizer, water, and oxygen to penetrate the soil.
In addition to a proven method for aeration, you can also depend on us for the right timing. We will evaluate your lawn, its grass types, and overall condition to recommend an aeration schedule best-suited for its needs. You can expect healthier growth and a more beautiful lawn in the weeks and months after we aerate.
