Lawn Aeration for the Rio Grande Valley

Your lawn may need more than just a typical watering or trimming. Adams Total Lawn Maintenance specializes in lawn aeration service, giving your grass a needed boost to tolerate hot summers and droughts. Our crew has equipment to professionally aerate your lawn and grass.

Aeration is a great way to improve the health of your lawn. Here are some of the benefits of lawn aeration:
• Reduce soil compaction
• Control thatch
• Improve the flow of oxygen
• Helps water and nutrients get to the roots

What We Do

Over time, small cores of soil as well as thatch can build up underneath your grass. This compacting of soil makes it hard for water to allow your grass to grow. A poorly aerated lawn may have several patches throughout your grass.

Our mechanical core aeration equipment can pull up the cores and thatches throughout your grass, helping to enhance root growth, and grow healthier, greener grass for your property. Regular watering will allow your grass to flourish once again.

What We Do

Aeration reduces compacted soil. Compacted soil doesn’t allow the grass roots to develop deep into your soil, and we all know the importance of your roots running deep. Deep roots increase drought and disease resistance. Compacted soil can also help develop a thatch layer too. Aerating your lawn breaks down the thatch layer and allows your grass to breath.

Aeration also increases lawn density by allowing new grass plants to begin growing. Lawn density is a huge factor in your lawn fighting off the hot Valley summers. The denser your lawn is the better it shades the soil so that it does not dry out too quickly.

Probably the most important benefit of aeration is that it allows oxygen, water, and nutrients to get deep down into your soil where it belongs.

ATLM only does core aeration which removes a core of soil and turf from the ground and places it on the surface of the grass. It is best to leave these cores and let them break down to put nutrients back into the soil as they typically break down in two weeks or less. Some companies aerate with tines that poke holes in the ground. This can have a negative effect and actually create more compaction because you are not removing plugs of soil but you are smashing the soil together in order to create a hole in the ground.

The best time to aerate your lawn is in the spring before the summer heat hits or in the fall. The summer heat that we receive in the Valley is stressful on lawns. Because lawn aeration itself can be a stressful process, it is best not to aerate your lawn during the heat of the summer.

We recommend coupling core aeration with fertilization for optimal results.
