There are several potential culprits to blame when your Grandville-area lawn’s health starts to decline. One of the most common afflictions leading to issues with area lawns is compacted soil. Lawns count on the free circulation of oxygen, heat and other elements to grow, develop root systems and survive seasonal transitions. When your lawn’s soil is compacted, it can constrict your lawns’ root systems, in addition to preventing healthy circulation. This lack of circulation can stunt growth, cause patchy areas to develop and make your yard more susceptible to takeovers by weeds and lawn diseases. At Lawn Doctor of Hudsonville-Grandville, we provide our trusted lawn aeration service to reinstate healthy circulation in lawns spanning the Grandville, Hudsonville, Jenison, Byron Center, Grand Rapids, Allendale, Walker, Standale, Holland, Zeeland, West Olive, Hamilton, Dorr and Hopkins, MI areas.
What Is Lawn Aeration?
Lawn aeration services can be performed in a few different ways, but they all operate on the principle that puncturing the top layers of your lawn’s soil allows for increased circulation of all of the elements your lawn needs to thrive, including oxygen, water, heat and minerals. When we perform an aeration service on your lawn, we’ll employ the use of a piece of lawn care equipment called an aerator to remove strategically-selected sections of soil to take pressure off of your lawn’s root systems and accelerate results. In addition to being bulky and cumbersome to operate, aerators can be expensive to rent for the average homeowner. When you choose our lawn aeration service, you can avoid all of the hassles that come along with renting a professional-grade lawn aerator.
Determining When Grandville Lawns Need Aeration
Although the most effective diagnostic tool to determine if your lawn needs aeration is one of our free consultations, there are a few telltale signs you can look for. Your lawn likely needs aeration if it can be characterized by any of the following:
- Stunted/stopped growth
- Clay soil that has not been recently aerated
- Vehicles frequently parked on grass
- Puddles form on lawn during light rain
- Damage from outdoor sports or entertaining
