As the snow melts and your plants begin to bloom again, explore the top reasons to aerate your Sykesville, MD, landscaping with the help of your local lawn care services team. 

If you’re wondering what happened to your beautiful garden after winter, the answer is soil compaction. Dead grass and dull yards wreak havoc on residences when air cannot circulate properly through the soil’s water and nutrients. Grass roots are strangled, literally leaving your landscaping unable to breathe. Aeration administered by landscaping experts solves soil compaction, which is one of the main reasons for sub-par yards. 

When your landscapers perform an aeration treatment on your yard, they carefully poke the soil with tiny holes to allow vital nutrients and nourishing air and water to seep into the roots of your grass. As the grass takes in plant food and absorbs additional moisture, it begins to grow deeper and more robust. 

So, how do you know if aerating is right for your property? You should aerate your lawn it receives heavy traffic, which often suffocates sod. Also, if your garden was established as part of a newly constructed home, you may need aeration to get your lawn growing properly.

In addition, if your yard has many layers of sod and soil or dries out easily, ventilation can help revitalize your grass. The best time to aerate is once yearly in the early spring or when it cools down again in September and October.
