But did you know that lawn aeration should be a regular part of every Lansdale, PA homeowner&#8217;s\u00a0annual lawn care plan? Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<p><strong>It breaks up soil compaction and surface thatch. <\/strong>During the Lansdale area&#8217;s\u00a0Summer months, your soil likely gets compacted due to heavy use, whether it&#8217;s from the lawn mower or kids playing. As a result, grass roots get compressed and struggle to take in enough air, water and nutrients. In addition, where there&#8217;s compaction, there&#8217;s also often a heavy layer of surface thatch growing on the soil. This too prevents adequate sunlight, hydration and nutrients from reaching roots.<\/p>\n<p>But with core aeration from Lawn Doctor of Havertown, Lansdale, Boyertown, Tredyffrin, a machine perforates your lawn and punches out small plugs of grass and soil throughout it. New pathways are then created where these key essentials can easily get to\u00a0grass roots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It improves air exchange and water\u00a0absorption. <\/strong>When soil gets compacted, grass roots literally can&#8217;t breathe.\u00a0They can even suffocate and die if compaction continues, resulting in brown or bare spots in your lawn. However, when the soil is well-aerated, there&#8217;s a healthy exchange of air between the soil and atmosphere, giving\u00a0grass plants what they need for good cellular respiration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It promotes healthier soils. <\/strong>Good microbial activity is also important for the overall health of your soil and your lawn. Without it, soil\u00a0can&#8217;t properly oxidize or decompose organic matter. And with lawn aeration, the micro-organisms living in your soil can get the\u00a0oxygen they need to thrive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It produces a\u00a0stronger lawn.<\/strong> In the end, when soil, roots and grass can take in more key essentials\u00a0\u2013 more efficiently \u2013 your lawn will be healthier with vigorous growth. This will impact the overall strength of your lawn, as well as boost its natural defenses and drought tolerance.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Learn More from the\u00a0Lansdale Area Experts in Lawn Aeration<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to learn more about lawn aeration, or are ready to put the many benefits of lawn aeration to use, call the local experts at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Havertown, Lansdale, Boyertown, Tredyffrin.
