Did you know that just like people, grass roots can get squeezed and stressed? This is due to issues with soil compaction and surface thatch. Down below, dense soil pressures roots, inhibiting them from taking in enough air, nutrients, and water. Up above, heavy thatch further impedes growth by serving as a barrier, stopping critical resources from getting into the ground. But with lawn aeration, homeowners from Lake Zurich, IL to Buffalo Grove, Barrington, and beyond can alleviate these conditions and restore health and vigor, all while reducing maintenance requirements.
Lawn Aeration: What Are the Benefits in Lake Zurich-Area Yards?
At Lawn Doctor of Buffalo Grove-Lake Zurich-Northbrook, we know that lawn aeration is an important step to achieving the healthiest lawn possible. That’s because compacted soil and heavy thatch lead to issues with standing water, deficient grass, and more vulnerabilities to pests, diseases, and weeds. But once soil is thoroughly loosened and thatch alleviated, your lawn will be able to:
- Absorb more critical essentials, such as water, oxygen, and nutrients
- Develop a root system that’s more robust and extensive
- Better tolerate issues with seasonal stress, from drought to heat
- Fight off problem pests, diseases, weeds, and other common lawn care challenges
- Grow in stronger and more vibrant
Some signs to look for that soil is compacted include: water that’s forming puddles after rainfall or running off, ground that you have difficulty sticking a screwdriver into, and weak growth and poor color, despite sufficient fertilizer and water. Also, factors including heavy foot and vehicle traffic, along with clay-based soil, can put your lawn at a higher risk for compaction.
