During every season, your lawn gets a lot of wear and tear. From kids running on it during spring and summer to heavy rains and snow in fall and winter, these can all lead to soil compaction. As thatch grows across the surface, both issues can block roots from getting the right levels of water, air and nutrients to thrive. But there is a simple solution with Lawn Doctor of Oyster Bay-Syosset. Our lawn aeration service, offered across the Oyster Bay, NY area, breaks down compaction and thatch so we can build up health, color, and vitality in your yard.
Aerating Your Lawn: What are the Benefits?
Compacted soil and surface thatch can lead to a host of issues with your lawn. These include poor drainage and puddles of water, grass that’s thin and weak, and more issues with weeds and diseases. Some lawns, such as those with clay soil and extensive foot traffic, are more at risk for these issues and therefore should be aerated more frequently. However, we know that every lawn can benefit from aeration because it facilitates:
- Deeper and more extensive grass roots
- More efficient use of air, water, and nutrients, improving turf health and appearance
- Increased tolerance to drought and other seasonal stressors
- Better resistance to insects, weeds, diseases, and heavy surface thatch
Lawn Aeration: Why Choose Our Local Team?
Unlike mowing, watering, and fertilizing, aerating might not be a lawn treatment you’re familiar with. But we make the aeration process simple for local customers. That way, you don’t have to worry about renting an expensive machine and learning to use it or potentially making a damaging mistake in your lawn.
Rather, with our proven method – core aeration – we handle the heavy lifting, removing cores of soil and thatch using our proprietary Turf Tamer® equipment. These plugs eventually decompose and nourish your lawn. In the meantime, the holes left behind reduce thatch and alleviate compaction, all while creating pathways that provide roots with greater access to fertilizer, air, and water.
In addition, with our services, you’ll also get an experienced team that knows the right times for aeration. For cool-season lawns popular in our Northeast region, that means early spring or fall, although we can customize a schedule based on your yard’s particular needs. Once aeration is complete, you can also take advantage of our seeding services to cultivate a healthier lawn with thicker turf.
