Understand What a Healthy Lawn Needs
Did you know a healthy lawn contains about 25% oxygen, 25% water, 45% minerals, and 5% organic matter? Therefore, proper soil balance plays a major role in lawn health. In addition, lawn aeration is just as important as fertilization. Grass roots require space to grow, absorb nutrients, and develop properly. However, compacted soil restricts root growth and limits oxygen flow. As a result, roots may weaken, rot, or eventually die. Excess rain, frequent watering, foot traffic, mower traffic, and salty fertilizers often compact soil. Consequently, compacted soil becomes anaerobic and encourages weed growth.
Avoid Soil Compaction Caused by High-Salt Fertilizers
Unfortunately, many lawn care companies rely on fertilizers that contain high salt levels. Over time, these products gradually compact the soil. As a result, lawns require aeration much more frequently. In contrast, Greener Lawns uses natural organic fertilizers that contain low salt levels. Therefore, our treatments protect soil structure while supporting healthier grass growth. Additionally, many companies use roller or drum aerators that compact soil while aerating. These machines typically create only four to seven holes per square foot in one pass. When companies make additional passes, they often compact the holes created during the first pass.
Our Advanced Aeration Creates Better Results
Greener Lawns uses professional aerators that deliver significantly better results. Our equipment creates between 8.5 and 45 holes per square foot in a single pass. This level of aeration effectively prepares lawns for healthy grass growth. In fact, 45 holes per square foot can prepare even completely dead areas for successful seeding. Most competing companies cannot achieve this level of soil preparation. Furthermore, our specialized organic fertilizer blend naturally supports soil aeration. As a result, our customers often need aeration far less frequently.
Finally, Our Lawn Aeration Saves You Money Over Time
Many lawn care companies advertise slightly lower prices for aeration services. However, they also recommend aerating your lawn every year. If you use their services, yearly aeration often becomes necessary. In comparison, Greener Lawns may cost slightly more upfront but delivers longer-lasting results. Our aeration service provides at least four years of benefit with 13 or more plugs per square foot. Consequently, homeowners typically spend less money over time. At the same time, their lawns grow thicker, greener, and healthier.
Why You Need Lawn Aeration
By using a special lawn aeration machine that pulls 8 ½ to 45 plugs per square foot in just one pass (the other guys only pull 4.6 to 7 plugs per square foot in one pass) and 2.5 to 3 inch deep plugs out of your lawn, we can create an optimal environment for your lawn to grow. This process allows oxygen, water, and vital nutrients back into the compacted soil; reaching the roots and giving new opportunities for seeds to take hold and start growing. Soil aeration also greatly decreases thatch layers, which can wreak havoc on yards if they have not had proper aeration.
Lawn Aeration & Lawn Repair
In addition to lawn aeration being an important part of lawn maintenance it is also a key part of lawn repair. This process helps to prepare dead and damaged grass for improved seed to soil contact. We pride ourselves on getting the job done right the first time, which is why we are so confident we can get it done on just the first try. If our seed does not take hold and germinate after 3 to 4 weeks of proper care, we will reseed and re-aerate until seed grows correctly.
