Core Aeration and Over-Seeding
4 Seasons Services in Louisville, Alliance and Canton Ohio offers lawn aeration service. Grass roots need air, water and nutrients to grow healthy and make your lawn look lush. Two things that keep all this good stuff from reaching roots are thatch building up and hard compacted soil. Lawn aeration will eliminate both of those problems.
What can Core Aeration do for my lawn?
As lawns age or sustain heavy use from play, sports activities, pets, and heavy accumulation of snow, soil compaction will result. Compaction greatly reduces the porous space within the soil that would normally would hold air. Grass roots require oxygen to grow and absorb nutrients and water. Compaction reduces total porous space in the soil and the amount of air within the soil. It has a very negative impact on nutrient uptake and water infiltration, in addition to being a physical barrier for root growth. This results in poor top growth and deterioration in your lawn. Core aeration can benefit your lawn immediately by:
- Loosening compacted soil enhancing the infiltration of rainfall or irrigation by reducing water runoff.
- Increasing the availability of nutrients to the roots of the grass.
- Preventing fertilizer and pesticide run off from overly compacted areas.
- Elevating oxygen levels in the soil, stimulating root growth and enhancing the activity of thatch decomposing organisms.
- While removing cores of soil you are cultivating the soil. The tines of the aerator also sever roots, rhizomes and stolons. Grass plants are stimulated to produce new shoots and roots that “fill up” the holes in the lawn and increase the density of the turf.
- Increasing the lawn's drought tolerance, improves its overall health and resistance to disease.
