Lawn Aeration
At HB Landscaping, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy and lush lawn. That's why we offer lawn aeration, a crucial service that helps keep your grass healthy and vibrant.
What is Lawn Aeration?
Lawn aeration involves removing small plugs of soil from your lawn, which helps to promote healthy root growth, increase water and nutrient uptake, and reduce soil compaction. This is especially important for lawns that have heavy traffic, heavy clay soils, or areas that are frequently watered.
What is included in the job?
The process of lawn aeration typically involves the following steps:
Inspection: The first step in lawn aeration is to inspect the lawn to determine the best areas for aeration. This includes evaluating the soil type, grass growth, and level of compaction.
Marking: The next step is to mark the areas of the lawn that need to be aerated. This will help the technicians to ensure that they are covering the entire lawn in a systematic manner.
Soil plugs removal: Using specialized equipment, the technicians will remove small plugs of soil from the lawn. These plugs are usually about 2-3 inches in length and will help to create small holes in the soil.
Spacing: The technicians will space the holes evenly across the lawn to ensure that the entire area is being aerated.
Clean up: After the aeration is complete, the technicians will remove any debris and leave the soil plugs on the lawn to decompose.
Watering: It is important to water the lawn after aeration to help the grass recover and to encourage the growth of new roots.
Fertilization: After the lawn has been watered, it is recommended to fertilize the grass to promote healthy growth and improve the overall health of the lawn.
