The secret to a lush green lawn is ideal soil conditions. However, the soil beneath lawns is often too compacted, restricting grass root growth and limiting nutrition intake. Fortunately, there is an easy solution: call Fenix Lawn & Tree, LLC for lawn aeration in Edmond, OK.
Aeration is the process of perforating the soil of your lawn with small holes. These holes make it simpler for air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots of your grass. Plus, they allow the roots to spread and take hold more easily. Contact us today to schedule aeration by our skilled crew.
Why and When You Should Aerate
Almost every property can benefit from lawn aeration, but some benefit more than others. If your lawn gets heavy use from children or pets running on it, the soil may be overly compacted. Likewise, if your property was recently constructed, the dirt is likely pressed down from the heavy equipment. Aeration is also good for lawns that were established by sod due to the soil layering involved. Finally, we recommend aeration if your lawn dries out easily and has a spongy feel; this could indicate a thatch problem that requires aeration to break up.
The ideal time of year for lawn aeration is during growing season. If you have cool season grass, that means early spring or fall. If you have warm season grass, aim for late spring. However, you can aerate almost any time of year successfully; contact us to learn more.
