Lawn Aeration Services in New Braunfels, TX

While fertilizing can help the overall health of your grass, it’s ideal to also have lawn aeration done to your lawn biannually to promote healthy grass growth. The soil in the New Braunfels area can contain a lot of sand, which will slowly compact after continuous mowing, foot traffic, or dry out during the heat of the summer. The more compacted your soil becomes, the harder it is for air, water, and nutrients to get to the roots of your grass. If this is the case, your grass will become patchy, discolored, or thin.

What Is Aeration for Lawns?

The aeration process is done by creating multiple holes throughout your lawn and removing cores of your soil. Removing cores of soil gives your soil space to disperse and loosen up allowing for more nutrients, water, and air to get the roots of your grass. This can be done using either a standard drum style aerator or a premium reciprocating aerator. Our team at A&A is one of the only lawn care companies in the New Braunfels area to use reciprocating aerators. Using a reciprocating aerator causes less potential turf damage than using a drum style aerator, making it the superior option.

What Are The Benefits of Aerating Lawn Soil?

Grass roots need proper airflow, water, and nutrients to produce a healthy lawn. When we aerate your soil, it will loosen up compacted soil and allow for the roots to receive what they need in order to bet their healthiest! This is the biggest benefit of aeration services. Another benefit of aerating your lawn is it will reduce the amount of thatch. Thatch is the level of both dead and living plant matter that settles amongst the base of your grass over time.

The thicker the layer of thatch is, the harder it is for your plants to receive proper sunlight, water, air, and nutrients. A thick layer of thatch can also attract lawn pests. Breaking up the soil will not only physically break up the layer of thatch, but it will also allow more movement of microorganisms that help break down the thatch.

When Is The Best Time To Do Lawn Aeration?

The best time for aeration service in New Braunfels and the surrounding areas is in the spring and fall. It’s best to do it when the soil still has a level of dampness so that the soil is easily removed and loosens up. Ideally, we would provide aeration services twice a year, however even doing it once a year can make a huge impact of your lawn’s overall health.

Aeration service is also beneficial prior to any lawn fertilization, since it preps the soil for better nutrient absorption. The same goes for before seeding your lawn. Breaking up the soil will allow the seeds to penetrate the soil and take root.
