Here in the Fort Worth, TX, area, the summer weather can take a serious toll on lawns. If you own a property in this area, you'll want to prepare your lawn so that it will be able to endure the heat it will be subjected to throughout the summer season. While you may be thinking that fertilizer treatments are the best way to prepare your lawn for the summer, that's not necessarily the best way to do so. In actuality, having your lawn aerated in the spring is one of the best ways to prepare your lawn for the summer because it will loosen compacted soil and make it easier for the resources and nutrients that your grass needs to thrive to reach the roots of your grass. If you want to go the extra mile for your lawn, you should have it aerated again in the fall to help strengthen it in preparation for the winter months!
What is aeration?
Aeration to the process of creating tiny holes in your soil to loosen compacted soil and make it easier for nutrients, as well as other essential resources like water, sunlight, and oxygen to reach the roots of your grass. This is very beneficial for your lawn because when your grass is able to absorb these nutrients and resources, it will be able to develop strong roots and be better equipped to stand up to various stressors like high summer temperatures, lawn diseases, and insects. When it comes to aeration, there are two methods: core aeration and liquid aeration. Here is a brief description of each method:
- Core Aeration - This method involves a machine called an aerator that removes small cores of soil from lawns as it runs over the turf.
- Liquid Aeration - This aeration method involves spraying a liquid solution over a lawn that will break down the soil.
If you're unsure if you should go with liquid or core aeration, contact your local lawn care professionals to get their professional opinion.
