Residential Lawn Aeration Services in Greensboro, NC

Lawn aeration, or core aeration, involves creating small holes in the soil using a lawn aerator. These holes allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the grassroots, enhancing soil drainage and promoting the growth of beneficial organisms like microflora and worms. This process helps your lawn stay healthy, green, and resilient.

The Benefits of Lawn Aeration

Wondering if lawn aeration is worth it? Here’s how it can improve your lawn:

• Encourages stronger, deeper grassroots
• Improves soil drainage and air circulation
• Breaks up compacted soil
• Enhances fertilizer absorption
• Reduces the risk of pests and diseases
• Promotes new grass growth
• Increases drought resistance
• Reduces overall lawn maintenance

When to Aerate Your Lawn

The timing of lawn aeration depends on your grass type. For cool-season grasses, aerate in the spring and fall. For warm-season grasses, aerate in the late spring through summer. Aerating during the active growing season ensures optimal results.

Signs that your Greensboro lawn may need aeration include:

• Pooling water
• Compacted soil
• Thinning grass

If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call us for residential lawn aeration services.

How Often Should You Aerate?

We recommend aerating your lawn once a year. However, if your lawn experiences heavy foot traffic or other factors that compact the soil, more frequent aeration may be necessary. Incorporating aeration into your spring or fall yard maintenance routine can keep your lawn looking its best.

How Much Does Lawn Aeration Cost?

The cost of lawn aeration varies depending on the size of your yard and any obstacles that may complicate the process. While renting or purchasing a lawn aerator is an option, hiring The Grounds Guys of West Greensboro ensures you get the best results with our professional equipment and expertise.

DIY vs. Professional Lawn Aeration

At The Grounds Guys of West Greensboro, we provide top-notch residential lawn aeration services, so you can save time and avoid potential mistakes.

What to Do After Aeration

To maximize the benefits of aeration, follow these tips:

• Leave soil plugs on the lawn to break down naturally.
• Water and fertilize your lawn.
• Overseed areas where the grass is thin to encourage new growth.
