Aeration & Seeding
Lawn Aeration Service in Lynchburg & Surrounding Areas
Lawn aeration is a great way to keep your lawn healthy and vibrant. Late summer into fall, before cold temperatures set in, would be a good time for you to have a local lawn care company, like CLC Inc. perform this service. This also happens to be a prime opportunity for overseeding; helping fill in bare patches and thicken turf with cool season grasses as well! When aerated, your lawn will have the ability to exchange air more easily with the atmosphere in order to strengthen the roots of your grass and keep your lawn healthier.
Why Do you Aerate your Lawn?
An aerated lawn will create a fuller and more beautiful yard if paired with over-seeding, which is simply placing grass seed on turf that has not been dug up.
Healthier Grass
When aerated, your lawn will have the ability to exchange air more easily with the atmosphere in order to strengthen the roots of your grass and keep your lawn healthier
Flow of Water
Aeration also provides an easier flow of water throughout your soil in order not to oversaturate any area of grass and evenly distribute the water across your lawn.
Heavily Used Yard
Children and pets running around the yard contribute to soil compaction. The result is a decrease in water infiltration rates, an increase in runoff that may cause erosion problems for exterior structures such as walls or foundations (which could lead to structural damage).
Pair Up
An aerated lawn will create a fuller and more beautiful yard if paired with over-seeding, which is simply placing grass seed on turf that has not been dug up.
Good Practices
These practices are great to perform during the growing seasons in order to set you up for a summer with a beautiful and full lawn.
Newly Constructed Lawn
Established grass can have a hard time growing in compacted soil from construction, which is why many people plant seedlings instead of seeding. Aeration will help solve this issue in your lawn
When to Aerate your Lawn in Virginia
The best time for aerating your lawn in Virginia is during the growing season, when grass has ample time to heal any holes left behind by soil plugs. If you have a cool-season lawn (grass that grows well in early spring or fall), consider doing it in those seasons. For warm-season grasses (like Bermuda and St Augustine) try late spring instead of summertime because these types tend to develop strong roots at this stage before temperatures get too hot outside.
