Silver Springs lawn aeration
Silver Springs is an established neighborhood in the Snyderville Basin, and many of its lawns have been in the ground a long time. Older lawns slowly pack down. Here is how to tell if yours needs aeration, and how we handle it.
Signs your Silver Springs lawn is compacted
- Sprinkler water puddles or runs onto the sidewalk instead of soaking in
- The grass browns out quickly in hot weeks, even on a normal watering schedule
- Thin or bare paths where people and pets walk the most
- The ground feels hard underfoot, like walking on a driveway
Try the screwdriver test
A day after you water, push a long screwdriver into the lawn by hand. In healthy soil it should slide in several inches without much effort. If you have to lean on it to get past an inch or two, the soil is packed tight. That lawn is a good candidate for core aeration.
What core aeration does
The machine pulls small plugs of soil out of the lawn. Each hole lets air, water and fertilizer reach the roots. Roots grow down into the openings. Over time, the lawn needs less water to stay green, because the water goes into the soil instead of off the top of it.
The plugs stay on the lawn and break down on their own. You can mow and water as usual.
