Aeration and its Benefits
Year after year the soil on your lawn gets compressed. This results in reduction of the amount of oxygen and nutrients to the roots of your grass. Thinning, stress, and loss of color result until the soil can no longer support turf growth.
Core Aeration is used to allow air, moisture and fertilizer into the root zone. A two to three inch “plug” of soil is pulled out of the ground. These plugs can remain on the lawn and the plug will eventually break up on its own. Soil surrounding the plugged holes and the soil deposited on top will collapse and fill on the holes. This controlled removal of soil cores will allow nutrients back to the root zone of your lawn. Core aeration also helps the roots grow deeper. The deeper the roots the healthier, thicker, and greener your lawn will be.
