When to Administer Lawn Aeration in Hillsborough Lawns
Lawn aeration is essential to your yard’s overall health, but when is the best time to administer aeration treatments? There are several key indicators we use to determine whether or not local lawns need to be aerated, here is a closer look at a few of them:
Excessive Thatch. Thatch is the layer of leaf litter, dead plant matter, and other organic materials that exist between your soil and the blades of grass in your yard. While some thatch is normal, excessive thatch can be an indicator of the compacted soil lying underneath. With our aeration treatments, we circulate the layers of thatch and soil in your yard to restore them to the ideal levels for improved short and long-term health.
Heavy Foot or Vehicle Traffic. Heavy foot traffic, vehicle traffic, and machine traffic are some of the most common causes of compacted soil in local lawns. The more impact and weight that occurs on the surface of your lawn, the more compressed your soil will become. We relieve the compression caused by foot, vehicle, and machine traffic with our aeration treatments to restore the circulation of the elements your yard needs to stay healthy.
