Just like people, your lawn needs room to breathe. But heavy foot traffic from kids and pets\u00a0can cause the soil to become compacted over time. This, in turn, hinders\u00a0nutrients, water, and air from reaching the root zone. Roots can even become so compressed that they eventually suffocate. It\u2019s not a pretty picture \u2013 unless, of course, you have the local lawn aeration experts at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Long Island on your side. We have the experience and equipment to cut\u00a0compaction and bring your lawn back to life.<\/p>\n
At\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Long Island<\/a>, we rely on the core aeration method. This approach simply involves using an aeration machine to punch out plugs of soil, thatch, and grass throughout your lawn. This opens up your lawn and gives roots room to breathe again. It also helps:<\/p>\n At Lawn Doctor of Long Island, we know there\u00a0are a few\u00a0signs to look\u00a0for that indicate the need for aeration. If your yard is thinning, and you can\u2019t figure out why, it could be due to soil compaction. Likewise, if your lawn has a lot of standing water and run-off, it\u2019s because the compacted soil won\u2019t allow for absorption. You can also perform the screwdriver test to verify compaction. Just stick a screwdriver into your lawn\u2019s soil; if it\u2019s a struggle, your lawn needs to be aerated.<\/p>\n At Lawn Doctor of Long Island, we know when\u00a0lawn aeration<\/a>\u00a0is performed at the optimal time, it maximizes the benefits. But the right time depends on the type of grass you have on your lawn. Cool-season grasses should be aerated in the late fall or early spring, just before their active growth cycle. That way, holes will fill in quickly with new grass.\u00a0Warm-season grasses should be aerated in late spring.<\/p>\n When thatch levels in your yard get too thick (the one inch area between the soil surface and the roots of your lawn), this layer of your lawn ecosystem can become a hotspot for pest activity. Fortunately, our core aeration process is designed to naturally reduce the thickness of your thatch layer. That’s because when the soil from within your lawn gets redistributed to the surface, the microbes within your soil will break down your thatch, reducing the thickness of this layer to the appropriate levels.<\/p>\n When a lawn suffers from soil compaction, the density of the soil will prevent it from absorbing water. Not only will this stop the flow of water into your root sytem and cause serious issues regarding the health and quality of your lawn, but it will also lead to water building up on your lawn’s surface in the form of muddy puddles.<\/p>\n The lawn aeration process is a vital component to any successful lawn care plan, so this task is always best left in the hands of experienced professionals.
