Essentially, core aeration takes cylindrical chunks out of the lawn in order to make space for roots to expand. Soil, grass and thatch are all removed by professional equipment and tools without harming the surrounding grass.
Lawn aeration in Midland Pennsylvania is usually done in the fall, after your lawn has peaked in appearance. By doing aeration at this period, grass will come back even stronger and healthier in the spring and remain beautiful the following summer.

LAWN AERATION BENEFITS
Things like sun, drought, mowers and children take a toll on your grass during the summer, and by fall, you could be questioning where your gorgeous lawn went.
Every year, your grass needs time to heal, and nutrients and precipitation, so it can return for the next season. The recommended way to provide these things is lawn aeration from Action Home & Lawn.
Here is a list of benefits that you will experience if you decide on professional lawn aeration every fall.
BREAKS UP SOIL
Compaction is a serious problem for soil. If soil becomes too compact, air and water aren’t able to penetrate it and the roots of your lawn won’t ever have the chance to come into contact with important nutrients found there.
Compacted soil can kill grass by slowly starving it. Core aeration reduces the density of the soil, and allows nutrients to reach the roots, leading to an overall healthier lawn.
REDUCES THATCH LAYER
Thatch is a term that refers to the dead grass underneath the living grass on your lawn. This can be grass that was mowed or that died and broke off. If thatch gets too thick, it creates a barrier that water and air won’t be able to penetrate.
This is a lot like what happens with dense soil. Thatch can eventually starve your grass and lead to unpleasant bald patches.
Following core aeration, organisms that break apart thatch are introduced back to the soil. These organisms control the amount of thatch that’s between the soil and the grass (until the next time you do lawn aeration).
HELPS NUTRIENT ABSORPTION
As we mentioned before, nutrients are distributed in air and precipitation. But when the soil is compacted, these nutrients will wash away. By opening up small holes on the surface of the soil, we can maximize the amount of soil surface area that is capable of absorbing the natural nutrients.
It also helps the absorption of added nutrients. Following aeration is the perfect time to fertilize your lawn, since the valuable nutrients will be maximized by the holes created during the aeration process. As roots absorb nutrients, they will fill in these holes and the soil will settle to fill them in.
MANAGES WATER FLOW
Rain is good for your lawn, but at times there might be too much water for it to manage. When there is too much rainfall – or in cases of flooding from lawn sprinklers, garden hoses or pipe leaks – it’s nice to have a lawn that is ready for excess water.
Aerating a lawn reduces erosion and helps prevent standing water. The openings created during aeration allow the water a way to spread without causing ruts or soggy spots underneath your lawn.
THICKENS GRASS
Although areas are removed, your grass will get thicker in following seasons after aeration. Aeration provides over-seeding, an essential development process for cold season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass and fescues which helps them naturally push out unwanted weeds.
Lawn aeration improves the number of seeds in contact with soil and aids in over-seeding.
PREPARES LAWN FOR WINTER
Ideally, you have both warm- and cool-season grasses in your lawn to maximize the amount of time that you have lush, green grass.
Prior to the cool-season, grass is completely dormant and it is the best time to aerate and fertilize. This combination helps the grass to look beautiful during the cooler months in Midland and defends it from summer heat and periods of drought.
OUR Midland
LAWN AERATION SERVICE
As a full-service lawn care company in Midland, we provide effective lawn aeration and fertilization services customized to each of our customer’s needs.
To ensure the best results and no damages, we remove all debris from your lawn prior to this service. Next we mark invisible pet fences, sprinkler heads and everything else that could be damaged by our {aerators|aerating tools. For best results, we recommend mowing your lawn and watering it lightly the day before your lawn is aerated.
We will pull specialized equipment over your lawn, removing small cylinders of soil, grass and thatch at balanced intervals. These plugs will remain on the lawn. In 7-14 days, they will break down and act as fertilizer.
After your lawn aeration service, water it often. You will be instructed to keep off of the grass as much as possible until over-seeding and germination happen – usually around 8-10 days. After that, regular mowing can resume.
