Talk to our experts today to see how aerating can improve your lawn.
There are a lot of things you can do to help your lawn grow thick and lush. Fertilization, watering, and regular mowing are the most common things that people do, but if you haven’t been investing in lawn aerating along with those things, your lawn may not be reaching its full potential. At Plant Pros, we offer expert lawn aeration services throughout the Mocksville, North Carolina area, and we’d be happy to show you just how beneficial this service can be.
A few of the most significant benefits of lawn aerating include:
- Reduced Soil Compaction — Your soil gets compacted over time as a result of activities such as foot traffic, mowing, and natural settling, and this compaction makes it harder for roots to access air, water, and nutrients. Lawn aerating loosens the soil so your grass roots can grow deeper and stronger.
- Reduced Thatch Buildup — Thatch is a layer of organic matter like dead grass and roots that accumulate on the soil surface. Aeration breaks down thatch and encourages the organic material to decompose.
- Preparation for Overseeding — If you plan to overseed your lawn, aeration is an essential preparatory step. The holes created during lawn aeration offer a perfect environment for new grass seeds to take root.
- Promote a Healthier Lawn — Overall, aeration is an important process that boosts the health and appearance of your lawn, helping it grow thick and healthy. A well-aerated lawn is better prepared to fight off pests, diseases, and other environmental stressors.
The ideal time for lawn aerating depends on what type of grass you have. Cool-season grasses like fescue or bluegrass are usually aerated in the fall or early spring, while warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia do better with aeration during the late spring or early summer.
