Aeration
_{In Mt. Holly, NC}

Mt. Holly is a wonderful community that is growing every year. There are many great outdoor spaces in town, such as Tuckaseegee Park, that have large open fields that can tolerate heavy foot traffic better than our yards at home. Core aeration is a great way to help preserve your lawn and alleviate the stress that gets put on it. If your lawn is constantly pooling water, you have noticed bare spots and dead grass forming, or if you notice more and more pests in your yard than usual, core aeration may be just what you need.

Core aeration helps your lawn breathe by removing small plugs of soil and thatch that become compressed over time. The holes caused by the removal of these plugs allow your lawn not only to decompress and breathe better, but they also serve to help your lawn absorb nutrients and water. Water and oxygen need somewhere to go when trying to get down deep into the soil of your lawn. When your lawn is too compressed, the nutrients it needs hit a wall and can not be absorbed properly. If your lawn has become thinner or bare in areas, it may be due to a lack of nutrients caused by compressed soil. The small holes made by our core aeration service give those nutrients a place where they can flow through and get down deeper for a healthier, fuller-looking yard. 

Many homes in Mt. Holly feature fescue grass, which is a cool-season grass. These lawns will be aerated from September to October, while warm-season grasses, like Bermudagrass, should be aerated from May to June. Regardless of the type of lawn or the season in which we aerate, RDS Lawn Care Services always promises the best aeration in Mt. Holly. After we are finished going over your entire yard, we go through it a second time to ensure we do not miss anything.
