Aeration is an important part of a lawn maintenance regimen, and it’s worth hiring a professional to do the job. Why? Professional lawn aeration benefits your property, your family, and your neighbors.

Myers Lawn Care Services, Carroll County, MD’s leading lawn care service, explains the details below:

Aeration Promotes Lawn Health

The number one reason people aerate their lawns is to provide more breathing room for grass roots. Otherwise, they’ll become too compacted and unable to absorb adequate nutrition and water. When aerated, grass roots can grow even farther into the ground, making for a much heartier and healthier lawn.

Lawn Care Services Benefit People & Pets

Lawn aeration does a lot for the lawn itself, but there are still more benefits. For instance, when grass roots become too compacted, this can lead to inadequate drainage and standing water—the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. If you want to prevent members of your family from getting bug bites, Lyme disease, and other health issues, a good starting point is ensuring that your own lawn isn’t harboring these obnoxious pests.

Landscaping Pros Know When to Aerate

The right time to aerate depends on a number of factors, including your region, grass species, soil composition, and moisture levels. A professional lawn care service will factor all of this in and recommend whether your lawn requires aeration every year or only every two to three years. They’ll also create a detailed plan, avoiding underground pipes and systems and giving extra attention where it’s needed.
