Healthy grass requires a strong foundation on which to grow. But if your soil is compacted or there’s heavy thatch growing on the surface, that gets in the way of proper root development. Roots can’t breathe, nor can they absorb what they need in terms of nutrients and water. This eventually affects the health and appearance of your lawn, leading to patchy grass, standing water, less drought resistance, and weeds and pests. But with our lawn aeration services, offered all over the Granbury, TX area, we can alleviate both today and help you avoid them in the future.
Aeration from Lawn Doctor of Granbury-Burleson: What are the Benefits?
Lawns aren’t just meant to look beautiful and enhance curb appeal. They’re the place where you hang out, play, have fun, and host family and friends. But as a result of all this activity, soil gets compacted and thatch builds-up, stressing grass roots in the process. In addition, soil with heavy clay content combined with high levels of rain also contribute to issues with compaction.
That’s where our lawn aeration services can help. We rely on a technique called core aeration to remove small soil plugs from your lawn in evenly spaced intervals. The holes created by the process open up your lawn to an increased level of air, water, and nutrients. They also break up thick surface thatch and compacted soil.
As a result, your lawn can:
- Breathe easy again and grow deeper roots in healthier soil conditions
- Absorb more key nutrients and water, making your lawn care efforts more effective
- Better support robust growth
- Fight off pests, diseases, and weeds, thanks to improved strength
- Tolerate environmental stressors, like heat and drought
