One of the pleasures of home ownership is the way necessary chores keep you connected to the changing of the seasons. Autumn is absolutely here, at least in Pembroke, MA, and that means it\u2019s time to have the lawn aerated.<\/p>\n

What is Lawn Aeration?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lawn aeration is a treatment the lawn gets twice a year to encourage healthy grass growth without using any chemicals whatsoever. It\u2019s particularly effective in areas of the lawn that tend to be hard and grass-free – in other words, the bald patches in the lawn where nothing grows.<\/p>\n

What does Lawn Aeration do for the Lawn?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you look at your grass, you\u2019re only seeing a small part of the grass plant. Underneath the soil, grass grows long, strong roots. These roots need to stretch out in order to collect rain water, oxygen, and nutrients – everything the grass needs to be strong and healthy.<\/p>\n

When the soil is hard and heavily compacted, the grass roots can\u2019t stretch out. Instead of nice loose soil, they\u2019re trying to find their way through the equivalent of concrete walls. Of course it doesn\u2019t work, and your grass withers and dies. Lawn aeration transforms that hard, impenetrable environment into a healthy space for strong rapid grass growth.<\/p>\n

Why Should I Have the Lawn Aerated in the Fall?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fall is the best season to do specific types of planting. If you\u2019re planting or moving trees, shrubs, or foundational plantings, this is the time to do so. Digging in concrete-hard soil is no fun whatsoever. Have your Pembroke lawn aeration service<\/a> improve the soil quality before you do your fall planting.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it\u2019s a good idea to have the lawn aerated before you have the final fall fertilization treatment for the year. The thousands and thousands of tiny holes that are introduced into the surface of the lawn act as a direct route for all of the fertilizer\u2019s nutritional power to go directly to the grass\u2019s root system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
