Holy Moly – Discover Aeration the Surprising Secret Behind Great Looking Lawns

Great grass doesn’t just happen. If you’re passionate about your lawn and can’t figure out what to do about those hard, bare patches where nothing wants to grow, get ready for a life changing experience. You’re about to learn about lawn aeration.

The most important thing to understand about growing great grass is that so much happens beneath the soil. While you see the green growth of the plant, underneath the soil, grass works hard to develop a healthy thriving root system. Healthy roots spread out through the soil to collect nutrients, water, and oxygen which they then funnel into the plant to achieve spectacular growth.

In areas where the soil is hard and compacted, it’s almost impossible for roots to spread out. Additionally, the hard, impermeable surface of compacted soil keeps rain water, fertilizer, and oxygen from ever even getting close to the roots. The result – poor grass growth.

Lawn aeration is one of the many services your Brockton lawn service provides. Lawn aeration introduces many small holes into the surface of your lawn. This loosens up the soil to the point where grass roots have a chance to spread out and thrive. Additionally, with these holes in place, it becomes much easier for water, fertilizer, and oxygen to get down into the soil and nourish your lawn.

Lawn aeration can happen at any time the ground is not frozen, but for maximum impact, you’ll want to do so early in the growing season. Ideally, lawn aeration should happen in advance of fertilization efforts. If you have soil that contains a lot of clay or you have a lot of activity happen in your yard (kids and pets playing) it may be prudent to have lawn aeration performed repeatedly throughout the season.
