Lawn Aeration and Overseeding in Silver Lake and Munroe Falls OH

Thatch is natural and when it is kept under control, it’s a very beneficial part of your turf. Thatch is the layer of organic matter made up of dead and living organic debris, blades and roots that builds up on any well maintained lawn. A small amount of thatch is a natural part of a growing healthy lawn in Silver Lake and Munroe Falls Ohio.

Heavy thatch harbors insects and breeds disease in the turf unfortunately.

Our aeration equipment at Akron Canton Lawn Care pulls cores from your turf to alleviate soil compaction in your lawn. Where some aerators just put holes in the ground, which will create even further compaction and do not pull cores. Core aeration that removes compaction from the soil allows water, air, nutrients, and fertilizer to have great success in your turf. Core lawn aeration will always guarantee a healthier and greener lawn.

Why aeration is so beneficial:

Core aeration removes thousands of plugs of soil and deposits them back above the thatch layer. The core plugs will “melt” back into the lawn and mix with the thatch in the turf. This speeds up the process of thatch decomposition, and keeps thatch under control in the turf. Heavy thatch layers can contribute to insects, lawn diseases or drought damage. With regular core aeration, thatch can be kept under control and will not be a threat to your turf. Soil will always becomes hard and compacted over time. The small and tightly packed soil particles do not have the room between them for water, air, nutrients and roots.

Lawn aeration lets the soil expand, and the space between soil particles is greatly increased. Lawn roots, nutrients, water and air can penetrate deeper in loose, more open soil in your turf. With regular core aeration, the soil becomes “softer” and your lawn is healthier, thicker and more appealing as the result.
