This blog discusses how lawn aeration can invigorate your landscape this autumn.
While summertime is fun for almost everyone, it can damage your lawn’s health. As landscaping professionals caring for landscapes among Maryland communities since 2007, Edward’s Lawn & Landscaping wants to help you revitalize your yard after a harsh summer. This blog discusses how lawn aeration can invigorate your landscape this autumn.
The Importance of Lawn Aeration
Lawn aeration is a process that removes countless finger-sized plugs of soil across your lawn. The holes that you or a landscaping company create allow water, nutrients, and air to penetrate deep into the roots of your turf, resulting in a healthier lawn. Additionally, soil compaction occurs when the hot sun beams on your lawn, and the roots on your grass struggle to obtain the nutrients to thrive. Fortunately, lawn aeration de-compacts the soil so your lawn can breathe fresh air.
Advantages of Aerating Your Lawn
If you have ever had a facial on your skin, you know how amazing your skin feels afterward – fresh and clean. Well, aeration is similar to a facial for your yard in the lawn care world. Lawn aeration minimizes soil compaction to make healthier, greener grass. Let’s review the benefits of aerating your landscape:
- Small holes in your soil loosen the dirt so it is no longer compact
- The holes are necessary so nutrients, oxygen, fertilizer, and water can easily access the roots of your turf
- As a result, the roots grow deeper into the soil
- Deep roots help your lawn remain healthy because they can withstand hot and cold temperatures
- The deeper the roots grow during fall, the more nutrients your landscape will have in the spring time.
When Should You Receive a Lawn Aeration?
Landscapes with green grass that become brown are the lawns that most require aeration. In fact, all properties benefit from aeration, not just those suffering from the summer sun. Even if your yard doesn’t wait this past summer, the roots may need to be more robust to survive winter. Furthermore, September and October are the perfect months for lawn aeration. Aerating in the fall will strengthen your lawn’s roots to recover from a hot summer and prepare for a successful spring!
