If your Carmel-area lawn isn’t growing as rapidly as it used to, it could be for several reasons. One common cause of slowed or stunted growth is compacted soil. When your lawn’s soil is compacted, it constricts plant roots and cuts off the free circulation of the elements your lawn depends on to grow healthy and strong. Our lawn aeration service reverses negative side effects by breaking up the soil and allowing circulation and permeability back into your lawn. At Lawn Doctor of Hamilton County, we provide our trusted lawn aeration service to homeowners and businesses in the Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Zionsville and Noblesville, IN areas.
What is Lawn Aeration?
The term “lawn aeration” is a blanket term referring to the act of puncturing the top layers of soil to break up the earth, boost circulation and free up room for the roots to develop and grow. Although all lawn aeration services have the same underlying concept, they can be performed in different ways with different tools. The lawn aeration service offered by our technicians at Lawn Doctor of Hamilton County employs the use of a piece of lawn care equipment called an aerator, which removes precise sections of your lawn’s soil (called “cores,” or “soil plugs”) to accelerate results and shorten recovery time. Aerators are bulky and can be expensive to rent for home and business owners. By choosing our aeration service, you can avoid the headaches that come along with renting a professional-quality aerator without sacrificing results.
Determining When Carmel Lawns Need Aeration
How can you tell if your Carmel-area lawn needs to be aerated? Although our lawn evaluations are the most effective way to reach a diagnosis, there are a few telltale signs you can look out for. Your lawn may benefit from lawn aeration if it can be described by any of the following:
- Lawn contains clay soil that has not been recently aerated
- Lawn forms puddles during rain
- Grass is damaged from vehicles, machinery, outdoor sports, pets or children
- Brown spots have appeared on grass
- Excessive amounts of thatch in lawn’s upper layers
