LAWN AERATION

You desire a lush, well-kept lawn to enhance your curb appeal and elevate your home’s appearance, but instead, you’re dealing with thin, patchy areas of exposed soil.

Luckily, you don’t have to settle for a sparse, lackluster yard. Covenant Greens Landscaping’s expert lawn care services can rejuvenate your property and restore unhealthy grass with treatments like aeration in the DC, MD, VA metropolitan area.

Why Choose Lawn Aeration Services

Over time, soil becomes compacted, and a thick layer of dead grass, roots, and stems creates a dense thatch over the surface. Together, these factors block oxygen, water, and nutrients from reaching the grassroots, which causes the grass to thin or die, resulting in a patchy, unhealthy lawn.

Lawn aeration is a solution designed to address this issue. By creating small holes in the soil and removing tiny plugs, our team breaks through the thatch and loosens the soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. This process helps your lawn grow lush and vibrant, leaving you with a beautiful, healthy yard to enjoy.

Our Annual Lawn Aeration Services

When you schedule annual lawn care and aeration services with Covenant Greens Landscaping, your yard will stay healthy and beautiful year-round. Aeration ensures your grass absorbs the water and nutrients it needs to thrive while also providing these additional benefits:

Decrease Thatch

A thick layer of thatch can become a breeding ground for insects and mosquitoes. Lawn aeration helps break down the thatch, reducing the risk of pest infestations.

Increase Water Retention

Aeration improves soil drainage, allowing water to penetrate more effectively and reducing the need for manual watering.

Fertilize Efficiently

Fertilizers can penetrate the soil more effectively, reaching the roots with ease to support a healthy and attractive law

Remove Bumps

Lawn mowing becomes more efficient after aeration, as the surface is smoother and more even, eliminating the spongy, bumpy texture caused by dead thatch buildup.

Overseeding

If your lawn has bare patches or thinning areas, overseeding during the aeration process is an effective solution. This method allows new grass seed to be planted without disturbing the existing turf, resulting in fresh growth that fills in the gaps and creates a thicker, softer, and healthier lawn.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lawn Care And Aeration

  • Lawn aeration is a crucial annual service for maintaining a healthy lawn. If your lawn requires aeration, you may notice bald spots, thinning grass, or a thick layer of thatch covering the soil.

  • It's best to aerate your lawn when it has time to recover. Cool-season grasses flourish in early spring and fall, while warm-season grasses grow most in early summer. We can help you choose the ideal time to schedule this service for optimal results.

  • No, even with thorough aeration, the holes are only about half an inch wide, and the existing grass typically grows over them. Additionally, the new grass from overseeding will quickly fill in the areas.

  • If we overseed your lawn, we recommend being careful not to walk on the new growth, as it could damage the seedlings. Try to avoid walking on the grass until it grows a few inches tall.

  • No, but aerating and overseeding will help the grass grow thicker, making it more effective at blocking out weeds and crabgrass. If you're concerned about weeds, we can always discuss control and removal options with you.
