Lawn Aeration Services in North Little Rock, AR

Lawn aeration, also known as core aeration, involves using a specialized tool to create small holes in the soil. These holes allow essential elements like air and water to reach the grassroots, promoting better drainage and fostering a healthy environment for beneficial organisms like microflora, microfauna, and worms. This process stimulates grass growth and offers numerous benefits for maintaining a lush and vibrant lawn.

Why Aerate Your Lawn?

The benefits of lawn aeration are:

• Encourages robust root growth
• Improves soil aeration and drainage
• Reduces soil compaction
• Enhances fertilizer effectiveness
• Minimizes mushroom growth
• Boosts resistance to pests and drought
• Stimulates new grass growth
• Decreases overall lawn maintenance needs

When to Aerate Your Lawn

The ideal time for aeration depends on your grass type:

• Cool-season grasses: Aerate in early spring or fall.
• Warm-season grasses: Aerate in late spring or early summer.

Do You Need Lawn Aeration?

Signs your lawn needs aeration include:

• Dry and hard soil.
• Uneven grass growth with bare patches.
• Poor drainage, causing puddles after rain.
• Excessive thatch buildup.
• High-traffic places experiencing wear and tear.

How Often to Aerate Your Lawn

We recommend annual lawn aeration, although high-traffic areas may benefit from more frequent aerations. Incorporating aeration into your spring or fall yard maintenance routine helps keep your lawn healthy and vibrant.

Cost Considerations

After aeration, leave grass and soil cores to decompose naturally. Watering and fertilizing your lawn, along with overseeding thin areas, promotes healthy growth and recovery.
