Lawn Aeration

Lawn aeration plays a vital role in keeping your lawn healthy and thriving. But what is lawn aeration, anyway? When the soil in your lawn becomes so compact, it will struggle to absorb nutrients, water, and oxygen. With aeration, small plugs are created throughout your lawn. This makes it easier for water to penetrate roots, increases oxygen exchange, and improves your lawn’s overall health.

At Florida Pest Control, we recommend annual lawn aeration services to maintain a lush and vibrant lawn. When you enlist our services, you can trust that our lawn care experts will ensure your lawn looks its best year-round.

Benefits of Lawn Aeration

Even if you’ve never aerated your lawn before, now’s the time to start! Some of the many benefits you’ll experience with lawn aeration are as follows. 

• Reduces soil compaction
• Promotes root growth
• Improves overall lawn health
• Reduces thatch build-up (and thus preventing disease and lawn pests)
• Reduces runoff or puddling

When is the Best Time to Aerate Your Lawn

The best time to aerate your lawn is when your lawn is not too dry, or too saturated. This helps to prepare your lawn for the hotter months ahead. While we recommend lawn aeration at least once a year, you can treat your lawns more often. In fact, most golf courses are aerated as often as two or three times a year. You’ll also want to consider lawn aeration if your lawn has thin or bare patches, or experiences puddling after a rainstorm. At Florida Pest Control, our specialists have the knowledge and experience to aerate your lawn, no matter what type of grass you have.
