Core aeration is a vital step in helping your grass obtain all the necessary nutrients it needs to grow healthy and strong. Soil compaction hinders the flow of these nutrients to the root system of your grass, and core aeration aims to fix this issue. Some soils are more prone to compaction than others, but almost all soils will benefit from core aeration. Many property owners in Lincoln, Hickman, Seward, Crete, Nebraska and the surrounding areas have utilized our core aeration service.
We recommend aerating your lawn at least once a year. During our aeration service, we thoroughly go over your lawn with our core aeration machine to ensure that we don’t miss a spot. We offer this service independently from our other services but for best results, we recommend coupling it with our overseeding service at least every other year.
Compaction occurs when things like lawnmowers, pets, or even people pass over an area of the lawn. Your soil and the thatch layer located immediately above your soil can become compressed. When this happens, it can prevent vital nutrients from reaching down into the soil to the root system of your grass. Clay-heavy soils are more susceptible to compaction damage but any soil can become compacted in heavy traffic areas.
During our core aeration process, we will use an aerator machine that utilizes hollow tines to pull up small plugs of soil that are approximately two to three inches long. Doing so will loosen up layers of thatch and soil to allow vital nutrients to travel deep into the soil to reach the roots of your grass.
We recommend combining overseeding with our core aeration service at least every other year to prevent your grass from thinning. When combining overseeding with core aeration, our team will aerate your yard twice. During our second round, we will spread grass seed throughout your yard. The freshly-aerated soil will allow better seed-to-soil contact for improved seed germination. With core aeration, the new openings in the soil allow seeds, as well as those vital nutrients, deeper access to the soil. We only offer our overseeding service when combined with core aeration.
