Now is the time to take care of your home’s lawn!

One of the most important steps you can take to prepare your lawn for the summer and the rest of the year is aeration and fertilization. Skipping a year or two can have long-term effects on the health of your home’s lawn. Here are some of the benefits of lawn aeration:

1. Lawn aeration pokes small holes in the surface of your lawn to allow the soil to breathe.
2. The holes allow water to penetrate deeper into the soil and be absorbed by the roots instead of evaporating.
3. When fertilizer is applied to an aerated lawn, it goes deeper into the lawn and provides nutrients directly to the roots.

After you aerate your lawn, get it power raked. This will remove the thatch, and allow your lawn to absorb water, breathe easier, and grow deeper roots.
​
Next, make sure you give your lawn a good 'deep root watering.' Don't simply water your lawn for 30 minutes straight. Rather, water it for 8 minutes, then give it a 30 minute break, then water for 8 minutes again. This allows the roots to absorb the water, rather than it evaporating.
