Aeration
Residential Lawn Aeration for Stronger, Healthier Grass
Lawn aeration, sometimes called core aeration is one of those lawn care services that most people are not familiar with. But most people have seen the benefits of it on a golf course. Golf courses are aerated on a consistent basis to keep the grass looking perfect all of the time.
It is important to understand what aeration is and why it is important for your lawn. Aeration is the naturally occurring process of air exchanges between the soil and its surrounding atmosphere. So when we perform an aeration service our equipment removes small plugs of soil and thatch from your lawn which improves the natural soil aeration reducing soil compaction, allowing your grass to grow deeper roots and utilize water and fertilizer more efficiently.

Why should I aerate my lawn?
Lawn aeration is a great way to improve the overall health of your Lebanon lawn by addressing soil compaction beneath the grass. Aeration opens the soil to increase air exchange, giving roots better access to oxygen while creating room for them to grow. This can lead to a stronger root system and healthier, more resilient turf.
How does lawn aeration improve water absorption?
Compacted soil can prevent water from moving efficiently into the root zone, which may cause water to puddle on the surface or run off the lawn. Aeration creates openings that allow water to penetrate deeper into the soil, improving absorption and helping your grass make better use of rainfall and irrigation.
Can aeration make my lawn fertilizer more effective?
Yes. Aeration creates pathways through the soil that allow fertilizer and nutrients to reach the root zone more effectively. When nutrients can move deeper into the soil, your grass has better access to the resources it needs for healthy growth.
Does aeration help with drought conditions?
Aeration can help your lawn become more tolerant of dry conditions by encouraging deeper and stronger root growth. A well-developed root system can access moisture farther into the soil, helping your grass better withstand periods of heat and drought.
Can lawn aeration help reduce thatch buildup?
Aeration can help manage thatch by improving air and water movement through the soil. These improved conditions support the natural breakdown of organic material and can help reduce excessive thatch buildup when combined with proper lawn care.
How does aeration improve the overall condition of a Lebanon lawn?
By relieving soil compaction, aeration creates a healthier environment below the surface. Better air exchange, improved water absorption, reduced puddling and runoff, more effective fertilizer use, stronger roots, increased drought tolerance, and reduced thatch can all contribute to thicker and healthier turf.
Lawn Seeding
Cost-Effective Lawn Seeding for Lasting Results
Whether you are looking to seed a large area or just some bare spots in your lawn, seeding is typically the most cost effective way to get great results. Performance Lawns has over 15 years of experience seeding lawns in the area.
If your like most homeowners deciding the best way to get a lawn for your home can be a tough decision. You have several options including sod, seeding, or hydro seeding. Although sodding your yard will deliver the fastest result it is also the most expensive option available. Most people would think that hydro seeding would be the next best option but actually if your yard is properly prepared and seeded you will typically end up with a better result from a proper seeding of the yard.
Hydroseeding
What is Hydro Seeding?
Hydro seeding is marketed very well and is advertised to be the best solution for getting grass in your yard. But what exactly is hydro seeding? Hydro seeding is when you mix water, regular old grass seed, fertilizer, and mulch (typically shredded newspaper) in to a large container where the seeds are completely soaked with water causing all the seeds to germinate at the same time which causes them to grow "magically" all at the same time after it is applied. Not really all that magical when you think about it, and although it works well along the highway and other larger applications Most of the time a residential lawn is better suited for just a regular lawn seeding.
Types of Lawn Seeding Services Offered:
- Kentucky Bluegrass
- Fescue
- Ryegrass
For fescue lawns, keep in mind that Bermuda grass that has spread into an established fescue lawn is extremely difficult to manage. Our goal with fescue lawns is generally to help limit the spread of Bermuda and keep it out as much as possible, rather than promise it can be fully eliminated once established.
