Your soil’s composition plays a big part in determining your lawn’s overall health. When your soil becomes compacted, your lawn loses the ability to freely circulate the nutrients, oxygen, water, and other elements that your grass and other plants need to survive. At Lawn Doctor of Pepper Pike-Beachwood, we use cutting-edge treatments to reverse the negative effects of compacted soil. With our advanced lawn aeration services, we bring a lasting boost in overall health to lawns spanning the Beachwood, Pepper Pike, Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights, and Solon, OH areas.

When Lawn Aeration is Necessary
Regular aeration is an important part of maintaining your lawn’s overall health, but when is the best time to aerate? Our team uses several different indicators to determine if aeration is needed in our customers’ lawns. Here are a few of the major characteristics and warning signs that we look out for when determining if local lawns need to be aerated:
Clay Soil. If your lawn has a high clay content, regular aeration is an important part of its ongoing health. Clay soil becomes compacted more easily than other soil types, which means that it requires more frequent aeration to preserve the essential circulation of nutrients and other elements throughout your lawn. Our aeration treatments keep clay soil at the ideal composition for consistent growth through the seasons.
Heavy Foot Traffic. Heavy foot, vehicle, and machine traffic are some of the most common causes of compacted soil in area lawns. The more pressure and impact seen by the surface of your lawn, the more compression occurs underneath. We use our lawn aeration treatments to break up soil that has been compacted by heavy foot traffic for restored circulation and improved overall health.
