\"BeforeWhen your lawn is suffering from compacted soil or heavy layers of thatch, your turf can literally suffocate. Overly dense soil or thick thatch prevents healthy airflow in your lawn\u2019s soil, preventing your turf\u2019s roots from breathing the way they should. The answer? Lawn aeration. At Lawn Doctor of The Woodlands-Magnolia-Tomball, our lawn aeration experts provide homeowners in The Woodlands, Magnolia<\/a>, Tomball, and Spring with core aeration, the most effective type of aeration available.<\/p>\n

Does Your Lawn Need Aeration?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It can be tough to know whether or not your lawn requires aeration. This is because the symptoms of a poorly aerated lawn \u2014 brittle, yellow grass and patchy growth \u2014 can also be due to other problems, like poor fertilization. When checking if your lawn needs aeration, keep the following in mind:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Most lawns require aeration every spring to relieve the natural compaction of soil over time.<\/li>\n
  2. One way to check for dense soil is the screwdriver test. Try inserting a screwdriver head-first into your soil. If this is tough to do, your soil likely needs aeration.<\/li>\n
  3. The lawn aeration experts at Lawn Doctor of The Woodlands-Magnolia-Tomball can provide you with a free health assessment to determine the best services for your lawn. Call, text or email us today for an aeration quote.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Spike Aeration vs. Core Aeration<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    There are two popular methods for lawn aeration<\/a> \u2014 spike aeration and core aeration. Each has its benefits.<\/p>\n

    Spike aeration is more widely available as a DIY method. Spike aerators are manually operated and use spikes to punch small holes in your lawn to break up soil and encourage airflow. The size of these holes means that spike aeration\u2019s results are usually short-lasting, so if you use a spike aerator on your lawn, you may need to aerate more than once a year.<\/p>\n

    Core aeration (or plug aeration) works a little differently. This method uses special machinery to core plugs of soil out of your lawn. The machinery creates deeper, more effective, and longer-lasting results than spike aeration. Core aerators are also more consistent than many types of spike aerators.<\/p>\n

    Because of its longer-lasting results, core aeration is the method used by the lawn aeration experts at Lawn Doctor of The Woodlands-Magnolia-Tomball.<\/p>\n
