Aeration

Determining if your turf needs aeration or oxygenating may be a challenge. However, there are certain signs to look for that indicate that your garden is in need of some oxygenation:

• There are water puddles after you irrigate
• Water runs off the grass right after watering
• Parts of your turf stay dry even after watering
• The lawn is compacted from heavy equipment use
• Areas of the turf are worn, especially where people walk often
  

Benefits of Aerating your Turf

A healthy green turf is directly linked to proper lawn maintenance. Any gardener from us investing time and resources in your garden means you can be assured that your yard will be top quality and beautiful. In fact, seeking the advice and care of a lawn service professional is definitely worth the investment especially when you see for yourself the transformation even a professional aeration treatment can bring. Oxygenating your backyard provides numerous high quality benefits:

Improves Grass Health

Spiking helps nutrients reach deep into the soil and roots. When you aerate through doing this, nutrients help build up a stronger and healthier turf and back-garden. When you don’t do this, thick layers of thatch block essential nutrients that are needed for healthy gardens.

Breaks Up Compacted Soil

When soil is compacted it prevents air, water and nutrients from reaching the roots. When you spike your yard it breaks up the compacted soil allowing the turf to breathe. This allows your plants and soil to make room for new growth. Out of all the other companies in northern Nevada, our professionals are the best to help you with aerating and breaking-up compacted soil so that your backyard is healthy again. From Reno to central Nevada, you won't find a better service anywhere else!

Reduces Build Up of Thatch

Accumulated roots and old grass stems create the ideal environment for pests and diseases. When you spike the ground it helps breakdown these down as well as breaking down thatch. Further, reducing thatch build-up improves the efficiency of fertilizer, water and pest control. All this will vastly improve the ease of your lawn maintenance.

Better Water and Fertilizer Efficiency

Coring your turf, much like any other aeration, increases fertilizer uptake and improves water absorption. The holes in the soil make it easy for water and fertilizer do go deep into the soil and roots. As a result, your grass absorbs nutrients better making it look healthier and greener. At Carson City Lawn and Landscape, our lawn service experts are happy to not only aerate but to then mix up the perfect nutrients to maximize your plants potential.

Stimulates Deeper Root Growth

Over time, the soil underneath your green carpet can become compacted. The compaction makes it hard for new, wanted roots to grow beyond the surface. Allow our companies to aerate your grass, it gives the roots more room to grow and the ability to access more nutrients, water and air. This healthier greenery is also more resilient to drought and diseases.

Prepares the Turf for Winter and Spring

Aerating by coring your grass helps prepare it for winter and extreme weather conditions. In addition, spiking helps prevent water-logging and drought. Spiking in the fall will help your yard withstand winter months.

It is best to call a turf professional at least once a year. The fall is the ideal time to prepare your turf for winter or spring. Call Carson City's best lawn care company today for a free quote and let us aerate and maximize your garden's potential.
