Why should my lawn be aerated? Print E-mail

Aeration Benefits:

  • Loosens compacted soil and increases the availability of water and nutrients.
  • Enhances oxygen levels in the soil, stimulating root growth and enhancing the activity of thatch-decomposing organisms.
  • While removing cores of soil, the spoons or tines also sever roots, rhizomes and stolons. Grass plants are stimulated to produce new shoots and roots, which "fill up" the holes in the lawn and increase the density of the turf.
  • Reduces water runoff.
  • Increases the lawn’s drought tolerance and improves its overall health.
 

You Asked

Why is my neighbor's lawn a different color than mine?

There is no single answer to this question. The types of grass plants present in the lawn, soil conditions, amounts and types of fertilizer used are all variables. While a difference in the color of your lawn compared to another lawn may be an indication of a problem, it may be nothing more than a reflection of the variables mentioned above, alone or in combination.
