Combine Lawn Aeration and Lawn Fertilizing For A Healthy Lawn

Don’t you just love to head out the front door of your house and look upon a beautiful, well tended, weed-free lawn. I know that when I have let my lawn go it really bothers me. Of course, to have that well tended and healthy lawn, it takes work. When I am on top of things and can get the aerating, fertilizing, and regular watering done (easy to do with sprinklers!), the lawn looks so much better. That is why I rely on others to take care of the not-so-regular part of my lawn care. My weekends are important to me and I do not want to spend $40 renting an aerator when I could pay someone the same amount of money and have them do it for me.

Aerating your lawn is typically done in the spring and then again in the fall. When you aerate your lawn, holes are punched into the thick and compacted soil. It breaks up the thatch and gives the soil a chance to breathe. The roots of the grass have a chance to spread out and grow deeper, providing a richer and healthier lawn. When you combine lawn aeration with fertilizing you are giving your lawn the best odds of thriving through tough weather. This is so very important just prior to winter weather.

In addition to aerating your lawn and getting a good fertilizer (weed control, regular, or organic fertilizer) when fall arrives you need to start closing up your sprinkler system. The first freeze of winter can cause severe damage if a professional sprinkler blowout is not conducted. The residential air compressors are just not powerful enough to really get the lines cleaned out. That is why this is one of the most difficult lawn care task for homeowners to do on their own. Also, the cost of mistakes can be very high.

The autumn months are busy with back to school and family activities. Why bother filling them up with lawn care activities too. A few tasks could be done on your own, but remember to seriously consider Nations Harvest for your lawn care needs and professional sprinkler blowouts.

Hopefully you can enjoy the fall and not spend too much time caring for your lawn. To help that happen, you should consider hiring a company to do the lawn aeration, lawn fertilizing, and sprinkler blowout. By ordering them together you save money and get the best value for your money (your fertilizer will do better if applied after an aeration).
