During winter, heavy snow sits on top of your lawn. Once spring arrives, it experiences a lot of foot traffic. These and other factors, like clay soil, can combine to cause soil compaction. When this happens, it squeezes roots and blocks out critical components. It’s why you should consider lawn aeration and where our team, serving Elkton, MD, Newark, DE, and other nearby areas, can help. Here’s how.
Ways Aeration Can Improve Your Lawn
There are several options available when it comes to aerating your lawn. At Lawn Doctor of Newark / Cecil County, we use core aeration, the technique proven to be most effective. Through it, small soil plugs are removed from your lawn. These dry out, decompose, and eventually introduce more organic matter back into the soil.
At the same time, once the aeration process is complete, you can expect:
- Reduced soil compaction and surface thatch.
- More oxygen, nutrients, and water reaching the root system.
- A stronger root system that grows down deeper.
- A smoother, lusher, more consistent-looking lawn.
- More vigorous, thicker growth and enhanced curb appeal.
After you aerate, you should also consider seeding your lawn. More of the soil is exposed, leading to increased seed-to-soil contact and higher rates of germination. This helps to get more grass growing in thicker and faster, improving your lawn’s beauty and health.
Get Help from Elkton and Newark’s Lawn Aeration Experts
You can handle aeration on your own by renting an aerator; however, you need to know how to use one, as well as the best time to aerate. If you do it too early in the season, for instance, before your lawn is growing actively, it can cause harm. Your grass won’t be able to repair the holes created by the aeration process.
