Aeration and Compost Sarasota, FL
As one of the many services we offer, we’ve noticed at aeration and compost is one of the most misunderstood. Often, many of our customers don’t even know what these two services are or how they can help their properties. Luckily, we’re here to help educate our clients on all the benefits of good landscaping tactics. Aeration simply means creating room for air to be circulated throughout your soil. After a while, soil becomes compact—which makes sense with
people, gravity, and plants all pushing down on it. When it becomes compact, it becomes difficult for the soil to release its nutrients to the surrounding plant life. This is never good because plants need the nutrients from soil to survive. So, how do we combat this problem? Aeration and composting!
When preparing the area for aeration and compost, we follow some simple steps, which includes removing the small cores, thatch, loosen up the soil to allow water and nutrients to be evenly distributed deeper. This process ensures that all flowers, shrubs or any vegetation that will be planted there allows roots to grow deeper which end results is an attractive outdoor that you would have been dreaming about. It also helps to de-compact all that soil and loosen it back up so it is similar to the state it was in when it was first laid on your landscape. We know that quality soil is not cheap, so the ability to maintain and reuse it as much as possible is something that all our customers love to hear. Aeration and compost help us do that.

​Composting is different than aeration. While aeration is focused on breaking up the soil, composting is thought to recycle natural materials so they can be used again throughout your soil and landscape. Think of compost as another form of soil. Instead of purchasing soil at the store, you are creating compost at home in a natural way.
Then, this compost can be mixed in with your soil to provide additional nutrients. While we do sell some forms of commercially engineered compost materials, we always recommend composting at home. It’s not only more economical, but it’s better for the environment.
