Over time, soil can become compacted, preventing water, air, and essential nutrients from reaching the roots of your grass. Core Aeration is a proven method that helps to alleviate soil compaction and promote a healthier, stronger lawn. Our professional Core Aeration Services are designed to enhance root growth, improve nutrient absorption, and create the perfect environment for a lush, vibrant lawn.
Core Aeration
At Spring Valley Lawn and Snow, we believe that the foundation of a healthy lawn lies in the soil beneath the grass.
What Is Core Aeration?
Core aeration is the process of removing small plugs or cores of soil from your lawn and leaving them on the surface. This allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the soil, reaching the roots of your grass where they are most needed. Aeration is especially beneficial for lawns with compacted soil, heavy foot traffic, or those that have been over-fertilized. It’s an essential lawn care service that helps revitalize tired or stressed turf and promotes overall lawn health.
Why Choose Our Core Aeration Service?
Improve Soil Health
Soil compaction occurs when soil particles are tightly pressed together, making it difficult for air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. Core aeration alleviates this problem by creating small holes in the ground, loosening the soil and improving its structure. This encourages better root development and helps your lawn access vital resources.
Enhance Root Growth
Healthy roots are the foundation of a healthy lawn. By allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach deeper into the soil, core aeration promotes the growth of strong, deep roots that can support a thick, green lawn. Strong roots also help your lawn withstand environmental stresses like drought and disease.
Improve Lawn Drainage
Compacted soil can cause poor drainage, leading to water pooling on the surface of your lawn. Aeration improves drainage by breaking up compacted soil and creating channels for water to flow into the ground, reducing the risk of waterlogging and lawn diseases.
Reduce Thatch Build-Up
Excessive thatch— the layer of dead grass and organic material on your lawn— can suffocate your grass and prevent essential nutrients from reaching the soil. Core aeration helps break up thatch and creates space for new growth. This allows the lawn to breathe and prevents thatch from becoming a problem.
Increase Fertilizer Efficiency
Core aeration makes it easier for your lawn to absorb fertilizer and other nutrients. After aeration, your grass can take in fertilizers more efficiently, ensuring that your lawn receives the full benefit of every treatment. This leads to a healthier, more vibrant lawn with less waste.
