The\u00a0problem? These symptoms can point to other problems, like lack\u00a0of water or poor fertilization. That can\u00a0make it difficult to diagnose poorly-aerated turf, which is caused by soil that&#8217;s too tightly packed or by\u00a0too much thatch on the soil&#8217;s surface.\u00a0One way that\u00a0you can check if your soil might need aeration is the &#8220;screwdriver test.&#8221; Simply take a\u00a0screwdriver and try to stick it head-first straight into your soil. If you find this difficult, it&#8217;s likely\u00a0due to soil compaction or thatch. In this case, aeration will be necessary. If you&#8217;d rather an expert\u00a0diagnose the problem, you can call Danbury&#8217;s lawn aeration specialists at Lawn Doctor of Ridgefield-New\u00a0Milford-Westbrook. Our team will be more than happy to help.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Core Aeration vs. Spike Aeration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At Lawn Doctor of Ridgefield-New Milford, we use core aeration for our lawn aeration\u00a0services in the Danbury area. Core aeration uses specially calibrated machinery to core finger-sized plugs out\u00a0of your lawn&#8217;s soil at regular intervals. This distinguishes it from slit aeration, which is the other\u00a0common method used for aerating turf. While slit aeration services can be easier to find, they\u00a0typically lead to less effective, less consistent, and shorter-lasting results than core aeration.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Danbury&#8217;s Lawn Aeration Experts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lawn Doctor of Ridgefield-New Milford isn&#8217;t just the Danbury area&#8217;s choice for lawn\u00a0aeration.
