Lawns need oxygen and nutrients to survive and thrive. But when soil gets compacted and a thick layer of thatch starts growing over the surface, it can hinder growth and weaken your lawn. Before this happens, let the experts at Lawn Doctor of Cherry Hill West & South help. With our lawn aeration services offered throughout the Cherry Hill, NJ area, we can loosen soil and break down thatch, all to help air, water, and nutrients better reach roots. Your lawn will be able to get back to growing in healthy and strong as a result.
Lawn Aeration from Lawn Doctor of Cherry Hill West & South: The Benefits
Compaction can be caused by any number of factors, from heavy foot traffic to clay soil and pounding rain. When it occurs, it squeezes grass roots and can even suffocate them. Also, thatch, which is simply living and dead organic matter on the soil surface, blocks out key essentials from penetrating into the soil. It’s a recipe for a weak lawn and you’ll see it in the form of standing water, wilting grass, and increased weeds and diseases.
But with aeration from Lawn Doctor of Cherry Hill West & South, we can restore your lawn’s health by enabling it to:
- Develop a root system that grows deeper
- Absorb more key nutrients from the soil, as well as from fertilizer applications
- Better resist issues with weeds, diseases, and spreading thatch
- Take in more water
- Tolerate heat, drought, and other stressors better
Lawn Aeration Services: How Our Process in Cherry Hill Works
Lawn Doctor of Cherry Hill West & South uses core aeration, the method that’s most effective and proven to deliver longer lasting results. With it, our industry-leading Turf Tamer® equipment will remove plugs of soil and thatch that are 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch in diameter from around your lawn. This breaks open pathways that enable more life-sustaining essentials to reach roots and get absorbed. It never damages your existing turf and offers an easy approach to ensuring your grass has what it needs to grow strong.
At Lawn Doctor of Cherry Hill West & South, we know that even the healthiest lawns need aeration. However, frequency depends on your specific yard’s condition, as well as soil type. Early spring and fall are often the ideal times for aeration, just before peak growing season for grass. That way, your lawn can rapidly grow over plugged out holes, stopping weeds from spreading in them. If you prefer, we can seed your lawn too after we aerate, all for lusher, healthier grass with improved thickness.
