Aeration

Lawn Aeration Colorado Springs Lawn Care Wayne Russell

Aeration is the process of punching holes (up to three inches) into your lawn. Commonly, it is the most important part of lawn care in Colorado Springs, especially because of our cities’ dry climate. The lawns that benefit the most from aeration are lawns that are high-traffic and have compact soil, or lawns that were established by importing sod. However, all lawns can benefit from this practice.

Benefits of Aeration

Allows for Oxygen Circulation The holes in the ground will allow for the proper circulation of air to reach your grasses’ foundation.

Better Water Absorption Aeration allows normal watering practices to have more affect on your lawn health. The water is better able to be absorbed by the roots of your grass.

Easier Access to Fertilizer Combined with a proper fertilizer, administered by an experienced lawn technician, aeration provides your grass’ roots with quick access to the nutrients in the fertilizer. This will allow your grass’ roots to grow stronger and deeper.

Eliminates Thatch Layers of dead vegetation that are compacted on the surface of your lawn. This layer is often harmful to your lawn as it prevents your grass from getting the nutrients it needs for a strong root.
