Let Your Lawn Breathe with Aeration

Here at Heritage Lawns & Irrigation, we believe a healthy lawn starts with healthy soil. Over time, the soil in your lawn will naturally become compacted and hard. If your lawn has not been responding well despite proper watering and fertilizing, chances are it is the result of soil compaction. Compaction makes it difficult for roots to get the nutrients they need because they can’t reach deep enough. The solution is lawn aeration in Kansas City, this is also helpful before lawn seeding as well.

How Core Aeration Works

Aerating pulls small plugs of soil from your lawn allowing food and water to reach the roots and giving them more room to grow. It also helps break up thatch that collects just above the surface of the ground and hinders food and water absorption while promoting fungus and disease. By breaking up the thatch and the tangled roots underground, the grass can establish a healthier root system. Aeration is a great weapon in your lawn care arsenal. It strengthens the roots, and strong roots are the first step in creating a lush, green lawn. Better root development means better tolerance to heat and drought.

Some small companies were great at horticulture but bad at business, some large companies were great at business but bad at customer service. Wes knew that if he combined the lawn care and irrigation skills he had learned at these companies and focused on the client, we could build an organization that would help more people than he could ever do on his own. Now, more than 18+ years later, our team of professionals helps thousands of homeowners by following a clear mission and by providing the best lawn care, seeding and lawn aeration services in Kansas City, Lenexa, Shawnee, Prairie Village, KCK, Olathe, KS, and the Overland Park area.
