Regular lawn aeration is a necessary, but often overlooked, part of maintaining a healthy lawn. When your lawn’s soil is packed too tightly, it can constrict your plants’ roots, block nutrient circulation and prevent the top layers of earth from absorbing the water, oxygen and heat it needs to grow. Our team at Lawn Doctor of McDonough-Covington provides our proven lawn aeration service to homeowners and businesses all over the Covington, McDonough, Conyers, Lithonia, Oxford, Ellenwood and Stockbridge, GA areas to boost healthy circulation, reverse the negative side effects of compacted soil and spark new, consistent growth.
Determining When Your Lawn Needs to be Aerated
Lawn aeration is extremely beneficial, and most Covington-area lawns will require regular aeration for steady growth. However, there are times throughout the year when aeration yields the most benefits. Generally, aeration is most beneficial just before the prime growing season, which will depend on the type of grass populating your lawn. Warm season grasses benefit the most from aeration at the end of spring, while cooler season grasses will see the most benefit at the beginning of spring. There are also several red flags that can indicate your lawn may have compacted soil and needs to be aerated. Your lawn probably needs aeration if it can be characterized by any of the following:
- Clay soil that has not been recently aerated
- Vehicles are frequently parked on your lawn
- Your lawn develops puddles during light rain
- Brown spots have appeared on your lawn
- Your lawn has been damaged by outdoor entertaining, sports, machinery, pets or children

How Our Lawn Aeration in Covington Prevents Lawn Weeds
With our ability to reverse soil compaction and restore the health of your root system, our team at Lawn Doctor of McDonough-Covington can also reduce your risk of ongoing lawn weed growth. With a root system that grows stronger and deeper, those invasive plants simply won’t have the space they need to secure a foothold in your yard.
Reduce Mosquito Hotspots with Our Lawn Aeration in Covington
Compacted soil leads to poor moisture absorption, which then leads to the accumulation of standing water on the surface of your lawn. All of this stagnant moisture provides mosquitoes with the habitat they need to lay eggs and raise larvae, so soil compaction directly leads to a surge in mosquito issues. These pests can produce hundreds of eggs on a source of standing water the size of a bottle cap, so when your yard is covered in tiny pools of standing water, your mosquito issues can get completely out of hand.
Fortunately, by removing cores of soil and boosting the flow of resources within your lawn, we can prevent these standing water hotspots and deprive mosquitoes of the space they need to breed.
