Now that the weather is warming up, it is time to check out your landscape and see if there has been any damage to it, such as thatch. Thatch is described as a layer of dead and living organic matter that builds up between the soil surface and on the green blades of grass. A thick layer of thatch can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the roots of your grass, leading to unhealthy growth. Aeration can help reduce thatch buildup by breaking up the thatch layer and allowing air and water to reach the soil. Call Iowa Lawn & Landscape for your commercial and residential aeration needs!
