While aeration does involve creating small holes in your lawn, the short-term disruption is minimal and far outweighed by the long-term benefits. The holes created are typically less than an inch apart and are quickly filled by healthy grass growth. In fact, the improved nutrient absorption and root development resulting from aeration lead to a healthier, thicker lawn in the weeks following the process. At Adkins Landscape Contracting, our professional aeration techniques are designed to provide maximum benefits with minimal impact on your lawn's appearance.
