Does your lawn have sections of thin, patchy, or wilting turf? It could be due to lack of proper aeration. If your soil is poorly aerated, your turf won’t get the air, water, and nutrients it needs. That’s where our core aeration services can help. We make lawn aeration easy for homeowners in Branford, offering an ideal alternative to DIY aeration.
Why Choose Professional Lawn Aeration in Branford
At Lawn Doctor of Ridgefield-New Milford-Westbrook, we know how important aeration is for your lawn. Unfortunately, many homeowners don’t realize the importance of aerating their soil. Others simply lose track of aeration, forgetting to schedule routine treatments for their yard.
Wondering what makes aeration so critical to healthy turf? Simply put, aeration is what allows your turf to breathe. It also ensures that water and nutrients can reach your turf’s roots.
When soil is properly aerated, there are small gaps, fissures, and seams that allow air and water to pass through. This way, air and water (along with nutrients from fertilization) can reach the roots of your lawn’s grass. But if soil becomes packed too tightly—sometimes referred to as soil compaction—these gaps get sealed off. As a result, your turf will be cut off from the air and water it needs.
Another common reason for aeration problems is lawn thatch. Thatch is a layer of dead plant matter and debris that builds up on the surface of soil. A healthy lawn will have a thin layer of thatch. But if this layer gets too thick, it will prevent air and water from reaching the soil underneath.
If you’ve noticed sections of struggling turf on your property, there’s a good chance that your lawn is suffering from poor aeration. The good news is that with our help, it’s easy to fix aeration problems and restore your turf to proper health.
