When your lawn’s health is on a steady decline, it can leave you looking for answers. Although there can be a number of culprits responsible for a dip in lawn health, one of the most common is compacted soil. When your lawn’s soil is packed too tightly, it can be extremely detrimental to your lawn. Compacted soil prevents the free flow of the essential elements your lawn needs to grow, while also constricting root systems. At Lawn Doctor of Mason-West Chester, our technicians provide our proven lawn aeration service to help restore healthy circulation in lawns all over the West Chester, Mason, Middletown and Hamilton, OH areas.
What Is Lawn Aeration?
Although lawn aeration services can come in many shapes and sizes, they all perform the essential function of puncturing the top layers of your lawn’s soil to allow oxygen, heat, water and other elements to penetrate the lawn, while simultaneously breaking up the soil to promote circulation. In the lawn aeration service we offer at Lawn Doctor of Mason-West Chester, we use a piece of equipment called an aerator to remove strategic sections of your soil (called “soil plugs,” or “cores”). The removal of these cores accelerates results and decreases your lawn’s recovery time. Aerators are bulky and can be difficult to operate. When you choose our lawn aeration treatments, you’re not only getting a trusted, professional service, you’re also avoiding the headaches, hassles and expenses that come along with renting and operating a professional-grade aerator.
Determining When West Chester Lawns Need Aeration
How do you know if your lawn needs to be aerated? Scheduling one of our free lawn assessments is the most effective way to give your lawn a proper diagnosis, but there are several signs you can check for on your own that can point to compacted soil. Here are a few common characteristics of lawns with compacted soil that require aeration:
- Bare or thin patches
- Puddles form on lawn during light rain
- Clay soil that hasn’t been aerated recently
- Vehicles or machinery frequently parked on lawn
- Overuse and damage from outdoor entertaining, pets and children
