<\/strong><\/h2>\nCore lawn aeration, which is the method Lawn Doctor of Warren uses,\u00a0is simply the process of coring out small plugs of soil, grass, and thatch in your lawn. This not only\u00a0relieves soil compaction \u2013 which can suffocate\u00a0grass roots \u2013\u00a0but also breaks down heavy thatch build-up on the surface. As a result, air can flow more freely into your soil while nutrients, water, and sunlight better\u00a0penetrate and reach roots. It’s a recipe for a stronger, healthier yard,\u00a0as well as:<\/p>\n
- \n
- More vigorous roots and growth<\/li>\n
- Better heat and drought tolerance<\/li>\n
- The ability to absorb nutrients and water more efficiently<\/li>\n
- Thicker, more luscious grass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In fact, in the weeks and months that follow aeration, you’ll see a noticeable difference in your lawn.<\/p>\n
Determining the Need for Lawn Aeration<\/strong><\/h2>\n
As the Hackettstown\u00a0area’s aeration experts, Lawn Doctor of Warren knows if\u00a0you’ve been faithfully watering and fertilizing without any results, then your soil might be compacted. Likewise, if you’re noticing thinning grass and standing puddles of water, both are indicators of soil compaction. And if you have clay soils\u00a0or you regularly park vehicles on your lawn, compaction can often become a problem. To check for it, simply take a screwdriver and dig it into the soil. If it’s a serious struggle, your lawn needs to be aerated.<\/p>\n
