Aeration is the process of making small holes in the surface of soil. This loosens the soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to more easily reach grass roots, helping create a healthier lawn. In short, aeration is an essential part of ensuring your yard is beautifully lush and, as we like to say at Waynes, “barefoot good!”
Annual aeration relieves soil compaction, which can be caused by a number of factors, including foot and vehicle traffic. Clippings from mowing the grass can also create a nearly impenetrable layer over time. Or if your lawn was established with sod, its finer texture layered over topsoil’s courser makeup can cause poor drainage.
No matter the cause, compaction can seriously hinder the growth of your lawn. In addition to impeding the flow of water, nutrients, and air, compaction prevents the roots of grass from growing deeper into the soil. A shallow root system can leave your lawn vulnerable to drought and washout. Dead or dying spots and frequent water pooling in your lawn can be indications of compaction.
Our Service Professionals can help you identify your lawn care needs and provide a customized solution to make sure your lawn is lush and healthy. If you suspect your lawn is suffering from compacted soil, give us a call! Waynes uses a plug aerating tool that goes beyond poking holes in the soil. Our method removes a plug -- or core -- of grass for more effective aeration. For best results, aerate your lawn once a year!
