LAWN AERATION SERVICES IN ELKHART, INDIANA

Are You frustrated because your lawn isn't as healthy and green as you'd like? If you asked us to come to your home to discuss the problem our first question would be if you'd been keeping up with lawn aeration. Our Elkhart Lawn Care crews have seen a lot of lawns over the years. When we see one with bare spots or inconsistent grass thickness there's a good chance lack of adequate aeration is at least partly to blame.

If you're unfamiliar with aeration, or why it's necessary, we're happy to explain. Aeration, as the name implies, is the process of getting air circulating freely throughout your lawn, We aerate your lawn by using a device that pulls finger thick plugs of earth out of the soil. This allows the freer flow, not just of air, but water and nutrients as well. Aeration is needed because, over time,a thatch of dead grass builds up at the base of your lawn and restricts the movement of all the desirable elements needed to give you the show case lawn you want.

Our lawn aeration cost is fair and reasonable. If you compare it to the cost of lawn aeration rental equipment you'll see what we mean. Then again, if you've been trying to aerate your lawn with a rental machine and your lawn's not improving it may be time to let us have a go at it; don't you think?

We've mentioned some of the primary lawn aeration benefits, like allowing air, water and nutrients easier access to the deep roots of your grass. Lawn dethatching is another beneficial result of good aeration. Some might see all that dead grass as a good thing, a source of compost destined to improve the health of your lawn. However, every good gardener knows proper air flow is one of the key elements to a healthy compost pile and your lawn is no different. Aeration helps break up that thick carpet of dead flora so the worms and other creepy crawlies can do their work breaking it down.

From time to time we have people ask us about lawn aeration shoes. You might see these spiked footwear devices advertised online or in garden supply magazines. The appeal is based on the premise that this method of aerating your lawn will be significantly cheaper than hiring a lawn care company like us. Well, we're not going to tell you how to spend your money, but, when you find your body weight is doing at least as much to increase the compaction of your soil as the spikes are to decrease it, call us. We'll also be here when you realize just how boring and tiresome aerating a lawn of any size with spiked shoes can be.

Lawn aeration is key to preparing for lawn overseeding, which is the secret behind the lush thick look you want in your lawn. If you have any questions, or for more lawn aeration tips, please contact us at anytime.
