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\u00a0might 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&#8217;s how it works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An aerator creates pores in your soil by cutting out small plugs of dirt, grass, and thatch, evenly spaced, from around your lawn.<\/li>\n<li>Plugs are approximately one-half to three-quarters of an inch in diameter and a few inches deep. They&#8217;re left behind on your lawn to decompose.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>Also, soil compaction is relieved, leading to better air flow and more space for roots to grow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not sure whether soil is compacted or if your lawn could benefit from aeration? Use the screwdriver test. Take one and try sticking\u00a0it 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&#8217;s not deeper than two inches, then it&#8217;s a sign soil is compacted.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Toms River Area&#8217;s\u00a0Source for Lawn Aeration: Learn More Today<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At Lawn Doctor of the Jersey Shore, we are the local choice for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/tomsriver-nj\/lawn-aeration\/\">lawn aeration in the\u00a0Toms River area<\/a>.
