Lawn Aeration in La Crosse: What Is It And When Do You Need It?

You love your lawn and want it to look as thick and healthy as possible. But under the surface, a threat could be developing in the form of soil compaction. Caused by factors ranging from heavy foot traffic to clay soil conditions, it compresses grass roots and blocks them from absorbing nutrients, air, and water. On the surface, if thatch is spreading, it can contribute to further root damage and a weaker lawn overall. That’s when it’s time to consider our lawn aeration services, available throughout La Crosse, WI.

Lawn Aeration from Lawn Doctor of La Crosse: What Are the Benefits?

With lawn aeration from Lawn Doctor of La Crosse, we can restore your turf’s health, color, and vitality. Through core aeration, our state-of-the-art Turf Tamer® equipment works to punch out small, consistently spaced plugs of soil and thatch from your lawn. This serves to decompress compaction and decompose thatch. At the same time, it leaves behind openings in your lawn where more life-sustaining resources can penetrate and reach deeper to get to feeder roots. As a result, your lawn will experience:

  • Higher-quality, healthier soil conditions
  • More room for grass roots to grow
  • Higher levels of oxygen feeding grass roots
  • More nutrients and water getting absorbed
  • Less of a risk for pests and disease thanks to the reduction of surface thatch
