COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL Lawn Care and Maintenance

---

1. Compacted      Soil: Colorado soils are often naturally heavy and clay-like, which can      lead to soil compaction over time. Compacted soil can prevent air, water,      and nutrients from reaching the grass roots, which can result in a weak      and unhealthy lawn. By aerating your lawn in the fall, you can break up      the compacted soil and allow the grass roots to breathe.
2. Increased      Absorption: In Colorado, fall is usually the time when your lawn is most      actively growing and absorbing nutrients. Aeration can help increase the      absorption of water, oxygen, and nutrients by creating more space for the      grass roots to expand.
3. Improved      Drainage: Snow in Colorado can often be heavy, leading to soil saturation      and poor drainage. By aerating your lawn before the snowfall, you can help      improve the drainage in your lawn by allowing the water to penetrate the      soil more easily.
4. Better      Resilience: By aerating your lawn in the fall, you can help your grass      develop deeper and stronger roots. Stronger roots can help your grass      better withstand harsh winter conditions, making it more resilient and      likely to bounce back strong in the spring.

Overall, lawn aeration is an important lawn care practice that can help keep your grass healthy and green, especially in Colorado where the weather can be challenging. By aerating your lawn in the fall, you can prepare your grass for the winter months and ensure that it comes back strong in the spring.
