Your lawn grows and thrives from the constant circulation of the different elements it needs to grow. When your lawn suffers a deficiency of one or more of these things, it can hinder growth and cause a steady decline in plant health. One common way a deficiency can arise is due to compacted topsoil. With the lawn aeration treatments we offer at Lawn Doctor of Gadsden, we help open up space and boost nutrient, oxygen, and water circulation in lawns all over the Gadsden, Rainbow City, Southside, Hokes Bluff, and Glencoe areas for continued growth, root development, and long-term health.
When Lawn Aeration is Necessary for Gadsden-Area Lawns
To grow, your grass needs a few things: oxygen, water, sunlight, and nutrients from the soil. When the top layer of your soil is compacted, your grass plants don’t have consistent access to three of those four crucial elements. When our technicians aerate your lawn, they’ll remove cylindrical sections of your soil (referred to as “plugs”) so that your soil naturally diffuses and decompresses, allowing free circulation of all the things your yard needs to grow and thrive.
Aeration is an extremely effective service that can yield great results, but how do you know if it’s the right treatment for your yard’s needs? Your lawn will benefit from our aeration service if it can be characterized by any of the following:
- You regularly park vehicles on your lawn
- Your lawn has excessive amounts of thatch
- Your soil is primarily clay
- Puddles form on your lawn
- A shovel or screwdriver can’t easily break through the surface of your lawn
When we perform our lawn aeration treatments, we implement the use of an industrial tool called a core aerator to remove soil plugs from your lawn. Core aerators are heavy, cumbersome, and can be difficult to operate for the everyday home or business owner. At Lawn Doctor of Gadsden, we make aeration easy by providing this service for you on a flexible, customized schedule, eliminating the need to rent and learn to operate bulky aerating equipment.
How Lawn Aeration in Gadsden Helps to Reduce Pest and Weed Activity
With effective core aeration services from our team at Lawn Doctor of Gadsden, we can fix your soil compaction issues and create much healthier conditions throughout your lawn. Keeping up with aeration treatments is one of the most effective ways to reduce pest and weed activity. Here’s why:
- Stronger roots. The lawn aeration process is designed to loosen up your soil and give your roots the chance to grow and breathe. This will lead to a stronger and deeper root system, creating a lawn environment that is far less vulnerable to future invasive plant growth.
- Moisture absorption. With our core aeration treatments reversing your soil compaction issues, your lawn will once again be able to properly absorb moisture. This will prevent water from accumulating on your lawn’s surface, removing the standing water hotspots mosquitoes need in order to raise their offspring.
- Thatch regulation. A thick thatch layer can quickly become a hotspot for pests. As a side effect of our core aeration treatment, soil from within your lawn will be transferred to the surface, mixing with your thatch layer. Since the microbes in your soil will eat away at your thatch, this will help to reduce this layer to proper levels and minimize the risk of future pest activity.
