Completing routine maintenance on the yard of your Cameron rental property is just as necessary as maintaining the interior. The person charged with taking care of the landscaping can and should be indicated in the lease and many landlords expect that given the fact that their tenant has promised to take charge of the yard, that states that they will also edge, trim and complete the necessary but less frequent tasks, such as aerating the lawn every year. But because this activity takes special knowledge, skill, and equipment, chances are that it is up to the property owner to take care of it.
Aerating a lawn is an important part of keeping it green and healthy. A number of experts imply aeration once a year and from time to time more than that if the soil on your rental property has a large amount of clay in there, is heavily used, or is otherwise tightly compacted. Aeration requires special tools, such as a machine that will cut a small round plug in the grass and dirt beneath and pull it out. There is also a device that makes holes in the ground with spikes, but this method, if not performed correctly, can actually make matters worse, and is not recommended.
The aeration process is necessary because when the soil seems to be too tightly compacted, water and fertilizer will have a hard time going to the roots of the grass. If this goes on, the grass may grow to be weak, becoming yellow or brown, starting bare patches or be sensitive to epidemic and pests. Entirely disdaining the problem won’t make it move off. No measure of watering or mowing will be helpful if your grass isn’t absorbing the maintenance and nourishment it requires to grow and spread.
