Lawn Aeration for the Danbury Area

Proper soil airflow is crucial if you want grass to stay healthy and green. When air can’t reach your grass’s roots, much-needed nutrients can’t reach your grass. The result? Sparse, patchy, brittle, and/or yellowing turf. At the Danbury area’s lawn aeration experts, the team at Lawn Doctor of Ridgefield-New Milford-Westbrook can help breathe new life into your lawn when it’s suffering from compacted soil or thatch problems. Our lawn aeration experts help Danbury-area homeowners diagnose aeration issues and respond to those issues with core aeration treatments — the most effective and long-lasting type of aeration in the business.

When is Lawn Aeration Necessary? lawn aeration machine on wheels labeled Turf Tamer

Poor aeration has a number of symptoms, like yellow grass, patchy areas, and sparse growth. The problem? These symptoms can point to other problems, like lack of water or poor fertilization. That can make it difficult to diagnose poorly-aerated turf, which is caused by soil that’s too tightly packed or by too much thatch on the soil’s surface. One way that you can check if your soil might need aeration is the “screwdriver test.” Simply take a screwdriver and try to stick it head-first straight into your soil. If you find this difficult, it’s likely due to soil compaction or thatch. In this case, aeration will be necessary. If you’d rather an expert diagnose the problem, you can call Danbury’s lawn aeration specialists at Lawn Doctor of Ridgefield-New Milford-Westbrook. Our team will be more than happy to help.

Core Aeration vs. Spike Aeration

At Lawn Doctor of Ridgefield-New Milford-Westbrook, we use core aeration for our lawn aeration services in the Danbury area. Core aeration uses specially calibrated machinery to core finger-sized plugs out of your lawn’s soil at regular intervals. This distinguishes it from slit aeration, which is the other common method used for aerating turf. While slit aeration services can be easier to find, they typically lead to less effective, less consistent, and shorter-lasting results than core aeration.
