When your lawn’s plants can’t access the nutrients they need to survive, they can’t support new growth or fend off any internal or external threats. Over time, soil conditions can become compressed, cutting off the healthy circulation of everything your lawn needs to stay healthy. At Lawn Doctor of St. Cloud-Kissimmee, our team administers proven lawn aeration treatments to reinstate the healthy circulation of water, nutrients, oxygen, and other essentials to lawns in the Kissimmee, Davenport, and Saint Cloud, FL areas.
The Benefits of Lawn Aeration
There is an extensive list of benefits that your lawn will enjoy with regular aeration. Here are a few of them:
- Increased ability to absorb water and heat from the surface.
- Strengthened root systems.
- A boost in the effectiveness of fertilization treatments.
- Increased airflow within the soil.
When to Administer Lawn Aeration to Central Florida (Kissimmee/St. Cloud) Lawns
Lawn aeration is a crucial part of keeping your yard healthy throughout the year, but determining the right time to administer lawn aeration treatments isn’t always the easiest task for the average homeowner. As with several other treatments, the timing is crucial. Here are just a few of the indicators we use when we’re determining whether or not a lawn needs to be aerated:
Excessive Thatch. Thatch is leaf litter and other organic matter that exists in a layer between your soil and the blades of your grass. Some thatch is normal and even healthy, but too much thatch can be detrimental to your lawn’s overall health. Excessive thatch can block certain elements from reaching your soil, leaving your root systems malnourished. Our aeration treatments circulate your soil and thatch, returning your lawn’s composition to the ideal proportions for healthy growth.
Heavy Foot/Vehicle Traffic. One of the most common causes of compacted and compressed soil is heavy foot, vehicle, and machine traffic. The more you walk or operate vehicles on your lawn, the more the soil becomes compressed and unable to circulate the elements your plants need to grow. Our aeration treatments ease this compression by removing sections of soil and allowing the earth to fall in on itself, restoring the circulation of nutrients, water, heat, and oxygen to your lawn.
The Benefits of Our Lawn Aeration in Kissimmee
The lawn aeration process is a critical part of any effective lawn care strategy, as your soil needs to be loosened up at least once per year. While the main goal of our unique core aeration method is to reverse and prevent soil compaction, this process also leads to many additional benefits for your yard. Here’s what you can expect from core aeration from Lawn Doctor of St. Cloud-Kissimmee:
- Protection from lawn weeds. Invasive weeds can be extremely opportunistic, attacking your lawn at its weakest points and depriving your turf of space, sunlight, and resources. So, the best way to minimize future lawn weed growth is to create a stronger root system. With our core aeration process, we will create the right soil conditions for your roots to grow deep and strong, building a stable environment where weeds will struggle to thrive.
- Reduced risk of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are drawn to areas of standing water, as they require this specific habitat in order to reproduce. When the soil in your yard is compacted, water often builds up on the surface. This can create the ideal conditions for swarms of mosquitoes to invade your yard. Fortunately, through our core aeration treatment, we’ll quickly prevent this issue and reduce your risk of a mosquito infestation.
- Regulated thatch levels. Our core aeration treatment will also introduce microbes from your soil into your thatch layer, helping to break down excess thatch and prevent this area of your lawn from becoming a hotspot for pests.
