| There’s nothing like a lawn. Large or
small, urban or suburban, lawns are irreplaceable pieces of the fabric of
American life. Our lawns are the welcome mats to our homes. They present
our best face to visitors and neighbors, They frame our houses. They
cradle our children. They connect our property with our neighbors, but
also serve as our private green space.
Lawns give us daily contact with nature and are a symbol of our care.
When well-kept, they are a sign of our commitment to order in the
neighborhood. This is where Greenway Lawn Aeration can help!
Lawns are our business, and as part being the best at what we do, we believe in educating our customers about lawn care. We hope you’ll appreciate this effort and will think of us for all your lawn care needs. Lawns need aeration to improve the depth and extent of turf grass rooting, and to improve fertilizer and water use. Walking, playing and mowing are forms of traffic that compact soil and stress lawns. Raindrops and irrigation increase soil density by compacting soil particles and reducing large air spaces where roots may steadily grow. Compaction is a condition that occurs primarily in the upper 1 to 1 1/2 inches of soil. Compacted soils have reduced air spaces and more resistance to root growth than non-compacted soils. Compacted soils are dense and cause water to puddle and run off. Practically speaking, lawn aeration is the process of mechanically removing small plugs of thatch and soil from the lawn to reduce soil compaction and improve soil aeration. Aeration helps all lawns, especially those growing on compacted soils. Aeration allows better water uptake, enhancing fertilizer use and speeding up thatch breakdown. Immediately after aeration, your lawn will be dotted with small plugs pulled from the soil. Within a week or two, these plugs of thatch and soil break apart and disappear into the lawn. About 7 to 10 days after aeration, aerification holes will be filled with white, actively growing roots. These are a sign that the turf grass is responding to additional oxygen, moisture, and nutrients in the soil. After aeration, your lawn will be able to use less water without showing signs of wilt. With repeat aerations, your lawn will show enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance, saving you water and money. Lawn experts agree that all lawns benefit from twice annual aeration. Lawns on slopes or in extremely poor soil will benefit with 3 to 4 aerations annually. Greenway provides this service for as low as $40 for most front lawns up to 1000 square feet, and only $65 for both front and back lawns of average size up to 2000 square feet. During your aeration appointment, we can also fertilize your lawn. Remember, with Greenway Lawn Aeration, your lawn is serviced by trained professionals using modern, state-of-the art equipment. Our equipment is safe on sprinklers, GUARANTEED! |
