Thatching & Aeration

nj-landscape-contractorOnce your lawn has been planted or installed, regular lawn care is necessary to keep it the healthy deep green color that signals a good lawn. If it isn’t properly dethatched or aerated, your lawn can end up brown and damaged.

Lawn dethatching by a good South Jersey landscaping company is necessary if you want to remove the thatch on your lawn (old dead grass) which essentially creates room for new fresh grass. Thatch is composed of debris, dead grass, clippings, and other types of buildup that can accumulate over time as it decomposes or just sits there. If mulch is often left on grass or it is not aerated, the problem can become compounded.

Aeration helps your lawn in a variety of important ways. Aeration prevents your grass from becoming thin, the soil from being too compacted, and even conserves water, as excess runoff is created when your soil won’t absorb water properly. It involves a South Jersey landscape contractor poking holes in the ground mechanically so your lawn will breathe, absorb nutrients, and grow like it should.

Each of these lawn care elements can be frustrating to attempt on your own. If you’re out of time or tired of trial and error, Royal Landscapes is here to make your life easier. You can literally sit back, relax, and watch your lawn become the envy of your neighborhood.

We’re an experienced NJ landscape contractor, so we are familiar with the dethatching and aeration needs of lawns in this part of the state. Nearly any untended lawn can benefit from dethatching, aeration, and proper lawn care.

For those who receive our aeration services we highly recommend watering minimally 15-20 minutes per day for at least the first few weeks.  Consistent watering will significantly help new seeds with the process of germination.
