Lawn aeration is an important part of lawn care. When the soils are rock hard and impenetrable, air, moisture, and important nutrients cannot penetrate to the roots of the grass on your lawn. Did you know that the grass and dirt in your yard needs to breathe? It is important that grass roots are able to run deep and breathe.  Yes, it is true. That is why we offer an aeration service. But you might be wondering, how does this work? We use a machine that punctures tiny holes into the yard which allows vital nutrients, air,  and water to enter to the roots of the grass.

We will also help you manage the thatch in your yard. You see, thatch is an enemy to your lawn. What is Thatch? It is a tightly woven layer of dead grasses, leaves, roots, soil etc. It accumulates between the blades of grass in your yard making an impenetrable layer that keeps nutrients and water from reaching the roots. Think of a thatch roof, and you get the idea. Is all thatch bad? No. A small amount is good because it protects the roots of the grass in your lawn from the harsh rays of the sun. However, a thick layer of thatch can keep moisture, nutrients and oxygen from reaching the roots, and can cause your grass to starve. A thick layer of thatch can also become the home to many diseases and pests.

Our aeration techniques keep thatch manageable, because we do a deep raking of your yard, and this technique breaks up the soil, which in turn, allows much needed nutrients, oxygen and moisture to reach to the roots of your lawn.

We will aerate your lawn during its peak growing season. If your grass grows fastest in the heat, then summer is the time of year that we will do this process. Likewise, if your grass grows best in the cooler climates, then spring or fall will be the best option for aerating your lawn.
