5 Ways Fall Lawn Aeration Saves Your Grass

FALL LAWN CARE | LAWN CARE TIPS
Grass in Pennsylvania suffers all year long. Winters can freeze kill large areas of your lawn and summers can bake it dry. A good lawn doesn't become great without some help. There are many lawn care tips that produce healthy grass. One can argue, none are more important fall lawn aeration.


Fall lawn aeration saves your grass these five ways. It reduces soil compaction, removes thatch build up, increases vital resources to the roots, reduces weeds, and promotes new growth.
We have talked about the importance of aerating your lawn since we started in the lawn care and landscaping business. The main reason why is it works. Your lawn takes abuse. It needs help to clean itself up and create a better environment for growth.

How Fall Lawn Aeration Works

Aerating you lawn starts by using a machine to make small holes in your lawn. The holes are made and the "plugs" are extracted to the surface. These plugs breakdown eventually and are good for nutrient recycling. The holes created break up thatch, alleviate compacted soils, and allow nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach the grass roots.
Without aerating you lawn in the fall, your grass can literally suffocate from compacted soils and reduced water and oxygen absorption. Finally, aerating your lawn is often combined with overseeding. This adds new grass seeds to exposed soil and creates a thicker, healthier lawn.

Fall Lawn Aeration Saves Your Grass These 5 Ways

How does aerating your lawn in the fall save your grass? Here are 5 ways fall lawn aeration keeps your grass looking good and growing healthy.
  1. Reduces Soil Compaction - Compacted soil limits root growth and starves grass of nutrients, water, and oxygen.
  2. Removes Thatch - Thatch is accumulated dead grass and other organic matter in your yard, which creates habitats for insects and disease.
  3. Increases Vital Resources - Similar to compaction, fall lawn aeration increases nutrients entering the soil and gives roots direct access to them.
  4. Reduces Weeds - Weeds thrive in areas where grass isn't growing so well. Increasing the health of your lawn, reduces the places where weeds can growth.
  5. Promotes New Growth - Combined with overseeding. aerating your lawn incorporates new grass growth into your lawn. New grass fills in gaps and supplements existing grass to make for a full, healthy lawn. 
Fall lawn aeration is often a professional service. However, you can clearly see its benefits. Don't let your yard starve and suffocate. Aerate your lawn this fall. Your grass will thank you.
