Lawn Aeration
Here in Dallas, the surrounding DFW Metroplex, and San Antonio, we have hard soil with very high clay content. This causes your lawn to get harder and more compacted near the surface of the turf. This is called soil compaction and can only be fixed with lawn aeration. Soil compaction is caused by ordinary occurrences such as people/pet traffic, lawn maintenance, rain, and other common weather conditions. It can cause several problems such as water runoff, disease activity, limited air exchange, and increased weed populations. In short, a compacted lawn is an unhealthy lawn.
How Lawn Aeration Helps Soil Compaction
Lawn aeration is a labor-intensive process where a lawn technician will use a machine called an aerator to extract thousands of soil cores from below the turf with several sharp hollow tines and deposits them onto the lawn. These cores dissolve quickly and disperse nutrients back into the lawn where it is used again. Core Aeration loosens the soil and allows precious air, water, and nutrients to flow into the root zone of your lawn where it is used to make your lawn grow thicker and healthier.
The air, water, and nutrients flow deeper into the soil, so the roots go deeper and your lawn grows taller and thicker. We recommend aerating your lawn at least once annually during the Spring or Summer.
