Is your once lush and vibrant lawn starting to lose its vitality? Does it seem like no matter how much you water and fertilize, your grass still looks lackluster? If so, your lawn may be suffering from compacted soil, hindering its ability to absorb water, nutrients, and breathe. The solution? Lawn aeration! We’ll dive into the benefits of aeration and how our professional lawn aeration service can breathe new life into your precious green space.

UNDERSTANDING AERATION

Lawn aeration is a simple yet highly effective process that involves perforating the soil with small holes, or plugs, to relieve compaction and create channels for essential nutrients, and water to reach the lawn’s root system. The soil and subsoils become compacted over time due to factors like foot traffic while enjoying the outdoor space, machinery during normal landscaping and home repairs or just natural settling over time, the root system of the grass can struggle to access crucial resources for optimal growth. Aeration is like moving up a pant size and allowing your lawn room to breathe, revitalizing it from the ground up.

LAWN AERATION SERVICE FAQ

You have questions, we have answers. Below are the top questions we get about our Des Moines aeration services.

The best time to aerate your lawn depends on the type of grass you have and the climate in your region. In general, the best time is during the growing season when the grass can recover quickly after aeration. For the Des Moines cool-season grasses, spring and fall are ideal times to schedule an aeration.

If your lawn experiences heavy foot traffic, shows signs of compaction (hard, compacted soil), or has poor water infiltration, it likely needs aeration. Other indicators include thin or patchy grass growth, puddling after rain, and difficulty in lawn care tasks like fertilizing and watering.

Many times, when we talk with clients about needing an aeration, we ask one simple question. “Does your lawn get hard like concrete in the August heat?” If the answer is Yes, then it wouldn’t be a bad idea to aerate the lawn.

When performed correctly, aeration will not damage your lawn. In fact, it promotes healthier grass growth. After aeration, your lawn may have small plugs or cores on the surface, which will break down over time and provide valuable organic matter to the soil. Any temporary disruption to the lawn’s appearance will be short-lived, and the benefits of aeration will far outweigh any cosmetic concerns.

While aeration does not directly remove thatch, it can help reduce thatch buildup over time. Aeration improves microbial activity in the soil, leading to better decomposition of thatch and promoting a healthier lawn with less thatch accumulation.

I called and they actually answered the phone and it didn’t go to voicemail. They came to see the job and gave me a fair quote and a date when they would be able to do it. The job was completed on time and I’m very happy with the work of the team.

The crew at Excel worked on our front porch retaining wall. They did excellent work, were courteous, prompt in getting the job done, and even came out a few months later just to double-check the wall during cold weather. Thanks for all you did. I will definitely recommend your services.

The recent ice storm had the sidewalks and driveway a sheet of ice. They came out twice to treat the areas. I was impressed with not only the work they performed but also that I did not have to call them to remind them. Rarely do I encounter from others the great service Excel provided. I am thrilled I hired them.
