Seattle Core Aeration
If you’ve noticed that your Seattle lawn isn’t thriving as it should, you may be dealing with compacted soil that limits root growth and water absorption. Core aeration is a simple yet effective solution that helps alleviate this problem. By perforating the soil with holes, we allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper, promoting healthier grass and a lush green lawn. The benefits are clear: enhanced curb appeal, increased safety by reducing muddy patches, eco-friendliness through improved drainage, and low maintenance in the long run.
Description & Benefits
What the Service Includes
Core aeration involves removing small plugs of soil from your lawn, typically using a specialized machine called a core aerator. This process usually includes:
- Assessment: Evaluating lawn health and soil conditions.
- Aeration: Using the core aerator to create holes in the soil, spaced about 2-4 inches apart.
- Cleanup: Leaving the soil plugs on the surface, where they decompose and enrich the soil.
Key Benefits
- Appearance: A well-aerated lawn looks lush and vibrant, enhancing your home’s curb appeal.
- Durability: Improved soil structure leads to stronger grass that can withstand foot traffic and environmental stressors.
- Safety: Aeration reduces water pooling and muddy patches, making your yard safer for kids and pets.
- Eco-Friendly: Better soil health means less need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, promoting a healthier environment.
