Is your lawn looking worn out and deficient? Are you noticing standing water throughout it? Do you have clay soil or does your grass get a lot of foot traffic? As local yard care experts in the Toms River area, Lawn Doctor of the Jersey Shore knows it might be time for lawn aeration. This is a process for loosening up soil conditions, breaking up heavy surface thatch, and getting more air, water, and nutrients deeper into the root zone. Here’s how it works:
- An aerator creates pores in your soil by cutting out small plugs of dirt, grass, and thatch, evenly spaced, from around your lawn.
- Plugs are approximately one-half to three-quarters of an inch in diameter and a few inches deep. They’re left behind on your lawn to decompose.
- Once aeration is performed, these holes create channels for more vital materials, like water and fertilizer, to penetrate the ground and get absorbed by the root system.
- Also, soil compaction is relieved, leading to better air flow and more space for roots to grow.
Not sure whether soil is compacted or if your lawn could benefit from aeration? Use the screwdriver test. Take one and try sticking it into the soil. When the ground is well-aerated, it will go in with ease. When soil is compacted and overly dense, though, it will be hard to drive in. Another way to tell is to dig up a patch of grass and look at the root system. If it’s not deeper than two inches, then it’s a sign soil is compacted.
