The Benefits of Granular Aeration for Soil Health and Lawn Maintenance

If you’re looking to improve the health and appearance of your lawn, you might want to consider granular aeration. This process of adding carbon back into the soil can help relieve compaction, increase water retention, and foster the growth of healthy grass roots. Here are some key benefits of using granular aeration for your lawn maintenance needs:

Improved Soil Aeration: 

Compacted soil can be a major problem for lawns, as it limits the flow of water, nutrients, and oxygen to the roots. Granular aeration is an effective technique used to alleviate soil compaction. 

Turfcor Lawn and Tree Care utilizes a special type of granular aeration product that is derived from plants and is highly concentrated in order to provide an ideal food source for the soil-dwelling microbes by breaking up compacted soil and creating openings where oxygen can reach the roots. 

Unlike mechanical aeration, which can only cover a small percentage of your lawn, granular aeration can spread evenly across the lawn, reaching tighter areas that mechanical aerators can’t.

Increased Water Retention: 

Soil that has been aerated with granular products has better water-retaining properties. This means that your lawn will be able to withstand periods of drought, reducing the need for frequent watering.

Decreased Need for Chemical Treatments:

Granular aeration is a natural and environmentally friendly way to improve soil health. Granular aeration is a safe and effective process and when it is applied earlier in the warmer seasons, can also decrease the need of other chemical treatments throughout the growing season. It can be applied without risk of damage to irrigation systems or other lawn features.

It also won’t disturb pre-emergent or post-emergent weed controls, if those types of products are also necessary and being used in tandem. 

Effective Microbial Activity: 

Turfcor Lawn and Tree Care utilizes a special type of granular aeration product composed of concentrated carbon-based nourishment from plants, specifically tailored for soil bacteria. The carbon in this granular aeration product provides a very effective energy source for microbial life in the soil. As the microbes feed on the carbon, they help to aerate the soil and create healthy conditions for grass roots to grow.

So, if you’re looking to improve the health and appearance of your lawn, granular aeration is an effective and environmentally friendly option. The granular aeration product used by Turfcor Lawn and Tree Care can help increase soil aeration and water retention, foster microbial activity, and promote healthy grass roots.
