Lawns need a few important essentials in order to thrive. Aeration is one of them. That’s because kids playing, pets running, and party guests walking contribute to compaction. Add to that clay soil and heavy rains, and conditions worsen. This then squeezes grass roots, cutting off air, water, and nutrients. When heavy thatch spreads on top of the soil, it further hinders growth. But with lawn aeration, homeowners across the Wilmington, NC area can access an easy solution for getting roots breathing again and restoring their lawns.
Lawn Aeration: The Benefits for Local Wilmington Yards
With aeration from Lawn Doctor of Wilmington-Brunswick Co., we can supply your soil with the right amount of air it needs to thrive. Our process also ensures critical, life-giving substances – from water to fertilizer to oxygen – can all feed into the root system, nourishing and hydrating your lawn. When your lawn is well-aerated, it will benefit by:
- Developing a stronger root system
- Absorbing oxygen, water, and fertilizer more efficiently
- Effectively fighting off weeds, pests, and diseases
- Tolerating drought, heat, and other stressors better
- Requiring less maintenance, thanks to improved health
Think your soil is compacted? Try sticking something sharp, like a pencil, into it. This will be tough to do when soil is compacted and thatch is too heavy, meaning your lawn should be aerated. Other signs to look for include water that’s running off or puddling and grass that’s sparse and weak-looking.
Lawn Aeration Services: What to Expect with Our Approach
There are several different ways you can aerate your lawn. At Lawn Doctor of Wilmington-Brunswick Co., we rely on the most thorough one. During it, we put our proprietary Turf Tamer® equipment to work, excavating small soil plugs from around your lawn. This process doesn’t harm your turf; instead, it helps ease compaction and thatch while also creating pockets for vital resources to flow into the root zone and get absorbed into your lawn. You’ll notice a big difference in your grass in the weeks and months after we aerate.
Before we begin work in your lawn with aeration, we will assess your lawn type and grass varieties to time the process just right before active growth. As a result, your grass will begin growing in vigorously right after we aerate, recovering faster with minimal weed interference. This provides a thicker, healthier lawn, sooner.
