Lawn Aeration

Lawn Aeration

Homeowners and business owners want lawns looking their best. But maintaining a lush, green lawn isn’t always easy. Sometimes, the grass thins, withers, and loses its healthy green color. The soil feels spongy or hard to the touch. When it rains, the soil doesn’t absorb the rainwater, causing puddles to form. All of these lawn problems indicate that the soil is compacted, and the grass isn’t growing to its fullest potential. Packer City Turf has the remedy. Lawns like these need aeration, and Packer City Turf has the equipment, training, and expertise to aerate lawns quickly and efficiently.

Aeration Helps Lawns Hold Nutrients

Aeration gives grass a boost by pulling out plugs of soil that are about 2-4 inches deep and a half-inch wide. The long, narrow soil plugs are removed every 2-3 inches to add space below the lawn’s surface. An aerated lawn has air pockets to receive and hold nutrients, oxygen, and water that roots need. Additionally, aeration gives roots room to grow.

Improves drainage, so rainwater drains properly instead of puddling, so pets and kids can run and play in the yard without getting wet and muddy

Prevents the buildup of thatch, the layer of organic material on the soil’s surface, which blocks grass roots from the nutrients they need

Aeration for New Homes, Sod & High-Traffic Lawns

Lawn aeration is especially important for lawns with heavy foot traffic from kids and pets. Additionally, aeration helps break up compacted soil where sod was laid. Grass roots won’t grow well when sod is laid over compacted soil because the roots won’t have the space to develop. Newly constructed homes with new lawns also benefit from lawn aeration because the grass roots tend to be shallow and weak. By aerating a lawn, the roots of the grass gain access to the food they need to grow.
