At JC Lawnscaping LLC, we understand that a beautiful lawn requires more than just regular mowing and watering. Over time, soil can become compacted, making it difficult for air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots of your grass. This can lead to thinning, yellowing, and even death of your grass. That’s why we offer a core aeration service to help your lawn breathe and thrive.
So, what is core aeration, and why is it important?
Core aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil from your lawn, which creates small holes in the ground that allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the root system of your grass. This helps to reduce soil compaction, which in turn promotes healthier and stronger root growth. By promoting better root growth, your grass becomes more resistant to drought, disease, and other environmental stresses.
When is the best time to core aerate?
The best time to have core aeration done is typically in the spring or fall, when your lawn is actively growing. This allows your grass to take advantage of the increased oxygen, water, and nutrient uptake provided by the process. Additionally, if you plan on overseeding your lawn, it’s a good idea to have core aeration done first, as it allows the seeds to penetrate the soil more easily and increases their chances of germination.
So, how is core aeration done?
At JC Lawnscaping LLC, we use specialized equipment that removes small plugs of soil from your lawn. These plugs are left on the surface of your lawn and will break down over time, adding valuable organic matter back into the soil. After the core aeration process is complete, we recommend watering your lawn deeply to help the soil settle and the roots to grow deeper.
