All About
Phoenix Aerating
Aeration is best
to do for lawn service in Phoenix during the lat
summer. Most lawns do not need aerating unless
more than every three years unless they get high
usage. You can aerate your lawn with shoes with
spies or with a machine. Machine aerating works
far better but can be expensive. Most machine
aerators pull up a little core of you lawn and
leave it on the surface, that is the best way
to do the maintenance.
A good aerating
machine should pull out lawn plugs that are about
the size of your little finger. When you get done
there should be about 30 holes per square foot
in your yard. Aeration allows air, rain and nutrients
to get into your Phoenix lawn. These holes that
are left also leave the lawn roots room to grow
and get stronger.
The best thing
about aerating your lawn every three years is
that it help roots grow deep, lets the air flow
into the lawn, improves water soaking, helps the
nutrients grow and lets microorganism grow. Be
aware though every time that you aerate you may
get some weeds. This is not a major concern though
as you will have a great looking lawn.
Aerating a lawn
is often overlooked even though it is very important.
Getting good airflow to the roots is very important.
The more people mow, walk and recreate on their
lawn the more compact the soil becomes. When the
dirt becomes very compact the soil is very hard
and roots do not grow well. Water also does not
soak in very well to help the lawn roots grow. |
