As a locally owned and operated lawn care company, we bring local expertise to area home and business owners.

What is Lawn Aeration and How Does it Help Southington Residents?
Aeration refers to a service that punctures the top layers of soil in an effort to loosen the earth and promote circulation. At Lawn Doctor of Bristol-Southington, we use an aerator to administer an advanced and more effective version of this service, which removes soil cores from your lawn to allow for accelerated results due to the more immediate shifting of soil. When we remove these cores and the soil naturally falls in on itself and diffuses, it creates space and permeability. The newfound space allows your lawn’s roots to grow and expand, while the permeability allows the oxygen, water, heat, and nutrients your lawn relies on to more readily circulate throughout the soil.
When You Need Lawn Aeration
While scheduling one of our free consultations is the most effective way to tell if your lawn needs to be aerated, there are a few simple signs you can look out for. Here are some characteristics commonly found in lawns that have compacted soil and would benefit from the aeration service we offer at Lawn Doctor of Bristol-Southington:
- Puddles forming on grass during light rainfall
- Vehicles frequently parked on grass
- Overuse or damage due to outdoor sports, children, or entertaining
- Machine use on lawn
- Clay soil that has not been aerated recently
- Slowed or stopped grass growth
- Excessive amounts of thatch in your lawn
How Lawn Aeration in Southington Helps to Reduce Pest and Weed Activity
Aeration is vital to the health and quality of your lawn, so it’s important to make sure it’s done right. When conducted properly by our experts at Lawn Doctor of Bristol-Southington, this treatment will not only solve your ongoing soil compaction issues, but it will also provide added protection from lawn weeds, pests, and other tricky lawn care problems. Here’s how our lawn aeration service will protect your lawn:
- Stronger roots. With every aeration treatment, our team uses advanced equipment to pull out cores of soil and open up airflow conditions within your lawn. In addition to ensuring that your roots receive vital nutrition and other resources, this will also allow your roots to grow deeper, providing more stability throughout your lawn ecosystem and preventing lawn weeds from taking over.
- Moisture absorption. Another problem that occurs when your soil is compacted is the build-up of water on your lawn’s surface. This can lead to increased mosquito activity, as these pests require standing water for their breeding. By loosening up your soil, we’ll allow your lawn to absorb moisture more effectively, preventing these mosquito hotspots.
- Thatch regulation. Your thatch layer is a layer of plant matter that exists between your soil and your turf. When it gets too thick, this space can become a breeding ground for pests. As part of our core aeration treatment, we’ll redistribute soil to the surface of your lawn. The microbes within this soil will mingle with your thatch layer, breaking down the plant matter and helping to regulate this layer to proper levels.
