There is a seemingly endless array of different factors determining your lawn’s short and long-term health. One common and extremely treatable condition many North Oklahoma City lawns face throughout the year is compacted soil. Your lawn relies on the free circulation of oxygen, nutrients and other elements to grow and develop strong root systems. When your lawn’s soil is packed too tightly, it constricts access to these essential elements and causes a steady health decline. At Lawn Doctor of Edmond-OKC, we provide our lawn aeration service to restore healthy circulation to lawns all over the North Oklahoma City, Piedmont and Arcadia, OK areas.
Lawn Aeration 101
Lawn aeration operates on the basic principle of puncturing or removing sections from the upper layers of soil in your lawn to allow air, heat and water into your lawn, while also boosting the effectiveness of fertilization treatments. When our technicians aerate your North Oklahoma City lawn, they’ll use an advanced piece of equipment called an aerator to remove precise sections of your soil (known as cores or soil plugs) to boost results and accelerate recovery. Aerators can be cumbersome to operate and expensive to rent for home and business owners. Leave the lawn aeration to us for top-notch results and to avoid the hassles of renting and operating a bulky aerator.
Determining When North Oklahoma City Residents Need Lawn Aeration
There is a long list of telltale signs that your lawn may need to be aerated. Scheduling a free consultation with our technicians is the most effective route to a diagnosis, but there are a few simple checks you can conduct to check for compacted soil that needs to be aerated. Aeration can be an integral step in your lawn’s recovery if it:
- Shows signs of slowed or stopped growth
- Frequently has vehicles parked on it
- Has been damaged by outdoor sports, entertaining, pets and children
- Contains clay soil that has not been recently aerated
- Has developed areas that are patchy or brown
- Develops puddles during light rainfall
- Has excessive amounts of thatch in the upper layers of grass
