Did you know that when soil becomes compacted, it can stifle the root system of your yard and result in poor growth? A wide range of lawn maladies, from discoloration to thinning, can be traced back to soil compaction. The main way to deal with this issue is through lawn aeration. Whether your lawn in Helotes is currently suffering from compaction or you want to provide it with the best conditions possible for ideal health, lawn aeration from Lawn Doctor of Northwest San Antonio and Hollywood Park-Shavano can make a difference.
Help Your Grass Breathe With These Lawn Aeration Tips
Homeowners are often familiar with concepts like fertilization and seeding, but less knowledgeable when it comes to aeration. We’ve put together our list of top tips for keeping your lawn’s root system healthy through aeration:
Ensure aeration is properly timed. There’s a right time to aerate your soil, and this is usually just as the growing season starts. Since the growing season is different for different grass types, it’s a good idea to hire a lawn professional to ensure aeration is carefully timed for the best impact.
Aerate soil regularly. Aeration isn’t a one-and-done kind of thing, as soil can become compacted again over time. On the whole, we usually recommend that aeration be done annually, although some yards can get by with being aerated every other year.
Choose core aeration. There are a couple of methods for aeration, with spike aeration and core aeration being the most popular. Core aeration is by far the more effective approach of the two, as it involves removing plugs of compacted soil rather than punching holes into the ground.
Hire a professional lawn aeration service. Because core aeration involves unwieldy machinery, it’s best to partner with experienced professionals to aerate your lawn.
