Healthy grass depends on a number of factors. One of the most important — and most often forgotten — is healthy soil airflow. Your lawn’s grass not only absorbs air through its blades, but also through its roots. When there is not enough air reaching your turf’s roots, the turf begins to wither and die. The solution? Lawn aeration. If your lawn requires aeration, give Lawn Doctor of Keller-Southlake-NW Fort Worth a call. Our core aeration services make it easy for homeowners throughout Keller, Southlake, Haslet, and the northwest Fort Worth area to have their lawns professionally aerated, giving their turf the air it needs to thrive.
When Is Lawn Aeration Required?
It can be tough to determine if your lawn needs aeration. That’s because the symptoms of a poorly aerated lawn — yellow, sparse, and withered patches of grass — can also be caused by other problems. One simple way to test if your lawn may need aeration is the “screwdriver test.” Simply try to insert a screwdriver into your grass head-first. If you find this tough to do, your lawn likely requires aeration.
Of course, the easiest and surest way to test your lawn for aeration issues is with the help of a professional. At Lawn Doctor of Keller-Southlake-NW Fort Worth, our lawn aeration experts are happy to help you diagnose airflow issues with your lawn’s soil. All you have to do is get in touch and we’ll do the rest.
Core Aeration Services for Keller
There are two main methods used for lawn aeration. The first is spike aeration. While more widely available, spike aeration is a more labor-intensive and ineffective method for aeration. That’s why our lawn aeration experts rely on the second method: core aeration.
Core aeration uses specially calibrated machinery to core small plugs of soil out of your lawn. Your lawn’s soil will naturally try to fill in these areas. When this happens, soil loosens, allowing air to properly circulate. Unlike spike aeration, which leaves small, shallow holes behind, core aeration delivers deeper, more effective results, giving your lawn long-lasting circulation.
Lawn Aeration & Power Seeding
If you’re thinking of having your lawn seeded, aerating your lawn beforehand can dramatically improve the results.
