Lawns rely on constant access to oxygen, water and nutrients from the soil to survive. However, sometimes conditions can arise in your lawn that restrict access to these elements and cause a slow and steady decline in your lawn’s health. One of these common conditions is compacted topsoil. When your lawn’s soil is packed too tightly, it throttles your plants’ access to what it needs to grow, thrive and stay healthy through the seasons. With the lawn aeration service we offer at Lawn Doctor of Lakewood-Jackson-Howell, we open up the circulation in lawns all over the Jackson, Lakewood, Howell, New Egypt, Freehold and Cream Ridge, NJ areas for improved health and more resilient root systems.
Determining When You Need Lawn Aeration
Although the best way to determine if your lawn will benefit from our aeration service is with one of our free Jackson-area lawn evaluations, there are a few checks you can conduct on your own. Here are a few characteristics that can point to compacted soil and help you tell if lawn aeration is needed:
- There are vehicles frequently parked on your lawn
- Your lawn has developed brown spots
- Your lawn is damaged from overuse (pets, children, outdoor entertaining, sporting activities on the lawn, etc.)
- You have clay soil that has not been recently aerated
If your lawn can be characterized by one or more of the above, aeration is most likely the most beneficial course of treatment. During this service, our technicians will use an aerator to remove sections of earth (called soil plugs) from your lawn to loosen the soil composition and promote healthy circulation. Aerators can be cumbersome, as well as expensive. By choosing our aeration service, you avoid the headache and cost of renting one on your own.
How Our Lawn Aeration Service Helps Jackson Homeowners
Compacted soil essentially cutting off your grass’ access to the physical components that keep it alive.
