What Are Lawn Aeration & Seeding Services?
Aeration and seeding are two distinctly separate but closely related and mutually beneficial services. When these are done in tandem, you’re left with a richer, healthier lawn that displays optimal growth and a uniform and appealing appearance.
Professional Lawn Aeration for Northern Virginia Homes
Lawn aeration seeks to mitigate compaction, which occurs when soil becomes more dense as it settles and is weighed down. This is key to a healthy lawn because compacted soil makes it harder for healthy grass and other plants to take root and grow properly. Compacted soil also reduces healthy moisture penetration, robbing your grass and plants of critically important water.
The methods of aeration vary a bit here and there, but overall, the process involves creating a number of small, inconspicuous holes of a certain minor depth — far enough to penetrate the soil. These small holes reduce compaction, and the resulting bits of “spent” soil assist in vigorous and healthy grass growth.
Expert Overseeding Services By Experienced Landscapers
Seeding is exactly what it sounds like. Using grass seed to “overseed” lawns helps cultivate healthy, optimal grass breeds that will grow well and beautifully within your lawn. Overseeding is best done in conjunction with aeration, as the action of aerating generates optimal conditions for grass growth. When done together, these two services will create the gorgeous, lush, and healthy-looking home every homeowner yearns for!
The Benefits of Aeration & Seeding
Put simply, these lawn care services will improve your landscape by:
- Reducing compaction: Compaction occurs in many ways: over time, when we walk on our lawn, and naturally when it rains. Left alone too long, compaction is why many lawns end up stubborn and devoid of life. The soil is simply too dense for healthy growth.
- Remedying thin patches: Aeration already helps to reduce the problems of patchy, weak growth. But in conjunction with seeding, you’re left with full, even, and beautiful lawn growth that will last all season.
- Promoting healthier water behavior: Since aeration allows for more normal water penetration in your soil, it can do two important things for your lawn. One, it reduces the amount of required maintenance by keeping your lawn more naturally hydrated. Two, it reduces the risk of awkward and harmful water runoff — a common issue with excessively compacted soil.
- Reducing weeds and ugly growth: Seeding ensures that the breeds of grass you grow are the optimal and most attractive choices for your unique landscape and area. This also helps avoid unsightly and unappealing weed growth in the lawn, reducing the frustration of rampant and unchecked growth.
