Breaking Down a Common Landscaping Misconception
One of the most persistent myths we encounter at 603 Yard & Tree Service is that lawn aeration is just an optional luxury service for homeowners with extra money to spend. This couldn’t be further from the truth, especially for properties in New Hampshire’s varied climate.
Why Aeration Matters in New Hampshire
Our experience serving communities like Manchester, Bedford, and Derry has taught us that New England soil faces unique challenges:
• Heavy clay content in many areas
• Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles
• Compaction from winter snow coverage
• Temperature extremes
The Real Benefits of Aeration
Proper aeration provides essential benefits:
• Reduces soil compaction
• Improves water absorption
• Strengthens root development
• Enhances nutrient uptake
• Decreases runoff problems
Cost-Effective Long-Term Solution
While some homeowners in Auburn and Londonderry might view aeration as an unnecessary expense, it actually saves money over time by:
• Reducing water bills through better absorption
• Decreasing fertilizer needs
• Preventing costly lawn renovations
• Minimizing pest and disease problems
The truth is, regular aeration is as fundamental to lawn health as mowing and watering. For properties in East Derry and surrounding areas, it’s not about luxury—it’s about maintaining a healthy, resilient lawn that can withstand our challenging New England climate.
Don’t let this myth prevent you from giving your lawn the care it needs. Proper aeration is an investment in your property’s long-term health and appearance.
