Lawn Aeration Services in New Westminster

What our customers are saying

Here in New Westminster, if you care about your lawn, you’ll know that creating a beautiful, lush yard takes a bit of work. Some of the more regular tasks, like a lime and fertilizer treatment, require less effort and time, but there are also very important annual or bi-annual tasks for making your lawn thrive. For today, we’ll be covering aeration, what it does, why you should do it, and when to do it in New Westminster.

Over time, your yard might get compacted by various things. In New Westminster, you might like to host parties, or perhaps you have kids or pets that trample over your lawn regularly, or perhaps you’ve noticed water beginning to pool in certain areas. Consider an aeration. These all could be reasons to freshen up your turf with an aeration.

In New Westminster, the heavy rains can lead to soil compaction as the pooling of water compresses the soil. Core aeration, the most common type, uses a machine that removes cylindrical chunks of soil from your lawn that are several inches deep. By penetrating through and perforating your lawn, you’re allowing the roots of your grass to get better access to the essentials like air, water, and nutrients. Not only will this give your grass better access to what it needs, but by removing cores, it also helps uncompact soil as it fills itself out over time. Aeration can also help with thatch and is a helpful first step if your thatch problem is out of control. It will penetrate through the thatch which will remove some of it and open it up to allow nutrients to hit your lawns roots. Another benefit to core aeration is that you should leave your cores on the lawn to decompose and do not have to remove it. In New Westminster, these cores will break down before your next mow and you can simply mow over what remains. Doing this will convert the cores into needed nutrients for your soil.

If you notice your lawn is pooling in certain areas, as is common in New Westminster, this is a clear sign that your lawn wants an aeration. When the soil is very compact, water can’t penetrate it and this is what causes the pooling. When you aerate it, it loosens up the compacted soil and will eliminate the pooling over time. Aside from this, you should aerate your lawn simply because it gives optimal access to nutrients, air and water for your turf’s roots. If you fertilize or water directly after an aeration, these essentials for your lawn will hit the roots instantly, promoting the fastest and healthiest growth.
