When Do You Need Core Aeration and Seeding Services?
Every homeowner wants their lawn to be healthy and pristine all year round, so ensuring your grass has the necessary nutrient is essential. Yard aeration reduces soil compaction, which lets oxygen and nutrients reach the root system while encouraging water flow. Overseeding helps with stressed areas of the lawn and improves its density and health. Consider lawn aeration if you notice any of the following signs in your yard:
- Your property shows signs of soil compaction.
- Your lawn and landscape seem to need irrigation more often.
- Your yard doesn’t respond to fertilization.
- You notice brown patches and withered grasses on the lawn.
- You see unusual insect activity on your property.
How Core Aeration Helps Your Lawn
When soil is compacted, the grass can not establish a healthy root system and it is difficult for water and nutrients to reach the roots. Core aeration serves to remove small cores or plugs of soil to improve the depth of the root system and, as a result, saves you money on your water bills. Aeration also helps reduce thatch accumulation, preventing water, fertilizer, and pesticides from being effective. The process helps to combine the soil with the thatch debris, making it easier for the soil organisms to break down the thatch and prevent accumulation.

When to Schedule Core Aeration Services
It is best to schedule aeration for fall, but it can still be done in the springtime especially if you are starting from scratch. That way, the grass can repair and heal itself even after the plugs are gone. Warm-season grasses benefit from this procedure in the summer as these types of lawns are growing actively.
