Benefits of Spring Aeration

April 20, 2017 by Mike

Is your lawn looking lackluster this spring? It’s time to schedule your annual aeration and lawn fertilization. Core aeration keeps lawns healthy and maintained, increasing nutrient intake and greening up grass. And fertilization replenishes nutrients lost over the dormant season.

Benefits of Core Aeration and Fertilization

Landscaping industry pros know that they key to healthy grass is annual aeration. Grass-focused businesses like golf courses take it one step further, aerating greens and fairways two to three times each year. Core aeration systematically removes plugs of soil from the landscape to revitalize the grass. Aeration is especially crucial this spring, since the fall drought left many Zoysia and Bermudagrass lawns looking yellow and sickly. What are the benefits of aerating the lawn?
  • aerating with pitchforkIt reduces soil compaction, allowing roots to grow deeper
  • It breaks up layers of thatch (the gnarled buildup of dead grass and debris that forms between the blades and roots)
  • It slows the formation of new thatch
  • It allows moisture to penetrate the soil, so that water reaches the roots more quickly
  • It reduces water runoff
  • It helps lawns stay healthy, withstanding the heat and stress of Georgia summers
  • It allows oxygen to suffuse through the soil to reach the roots of the grass
  • It makes lawns less susceptible to disease
  • It helps lawns become more resilient, dense, and springy
  • It allows fertilizer to sink more deeply into the soil, reaching the plant’s roots without going to waste
At Alternative Environments, we use green landscaping practices to maintain lawns in Kennesaw. Call today to schedule your core aeration and fertilization.
