At Bayside Grounds, we offer expert aeration and dethatching services that are crucial for maintaining a lush, vibrant lawn. These essential lawn care techniques improve the health and appearance of your grass, helping it thrive season after season.

Why Aeration & Dethatching Matter

Over time, lawns can become compacted, and thatch can build up, which inhibits water, air, and nutrients from reaching the roots. Aeration and dethatching work together to improve soil structure and provide your lawn with the conditions it needs to grow strong, healthy, and green.

• Aeration: Relieves soil compaction by creating small holes in the soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper.

• Dethatching: Removes the layer of thatch (dead grass, leaves, and roots) that accumulates on top of the soil, preventing proper airflow and water absorption.

Together, these services ensure your lawn gets the vital resources it needs to grow vigorously and stay healthy.

Aeration: Improve Your Lawn’s Health

Aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow better penetration of water, oxygen, and nutrients. It’s particularly important for lawns with heavy foot traffic, clay soil, or lawns that are showing signs of thinning.

• Improves Root Growth: Aeration promotes deeper root growth, leading to a stronger, healthier lawn.

• Reduces Compaction: Helps break up compacted soil, making it easier for water and nutrients to reach the grass roots.

• Boosts Turf Health: Aerated lawns are less prone to disease and pests, creating a more resilient turf.

When to Aerate:

- Early spring or fall is the best time to aerate, as grass is actively growing and can recover quickly.

- Lawns that experience heavy traffic, drought stress, or areas with clay soil should be aerated annually.

Dethatching: Keep Your Lawn Free of Excess Thatch

Thatch is the layer of dead grass, leaves, and roots that can build up on the soil surface. While a small amount of thatch is natural, too much can block water and nutrients from reaching your grass. Dethatching is the process of removing this layer, promoting better lawn health.

• Improves Water Penetration: Dethatching breaks up the layer of debris that can prevent water from soaking into the soil.

• Encourages New Growth: With the thatch removed, your lawn has more room to grow and spread new grass.

• Enhances Nutrient Absorption: By allowing nutrients to reach the soil, dethatching supports better lawn nutrition.

When to Dethatch:

- It’s best to dethatch in the early spring or fall when your lawn is actively growing.

- If the thatch layer is more than half an inch thick, it’s time to dethatch your lawn.
