Professional Lawn Aeration in Lehi

Signs Your Lawn Needs Aeration Services

• When you should aerate depends on the type of grass you have. If it’s cool-season grass, it is better to aerate in the spring and fall. For warm-season grass, spring through summer is the ideal time for aeration. Timing is critical so you can ensure that it is done when the grass is active and growing. This will produce a healthy and green lawn. You can tell your lawn needs aeration if water is gathering and not seeping into the soil if the soil has become compressed, and if the grass has lost its luster or is sparse. For thinning grass, you may need further lawn treatment, but aeration is beneficial.

• It’s time to consider lawn aeration services when turf problems occur. Contact us if your lawn exhibits any of the following conditions:

• Dry and hard soil: Does your grass feel bone dry or rock hard? Is it difficult to insert a shovel trowel into the ground? These are signs of soil compaction.
• Uneven grass growth: Are there bare patches on your lawn? Will grass or weeds not grow on these patches? If so, the soil underneath these patches is likely compacted.
• Poor drainage: Are there pools or puddles from rainwater or water from irrigation in your lawn? When the soil is compacted, the water cannot drain.
• Excess thatch: If you can remove more than 1 cm of thatch, this is a sign to aerate your lawn.
• Lawns with high traffic: Heavy equipment and foot traffic from people and pets can cause soil compaction.
