Core Aeration

 

During the early spring or late fall we recommend that you aerate your lawn.  Aeration is one of the most important components in creating a green healthy lawn. Thatch buildup and compressed soil can suffocate your grass.  Core Aeration helps yards by removing plugs of soil from your yard.   This is an effective measure to help loosen compacted soil. Just as loosening the soil is important for farmers to grow a healthy crop, aeration is an vital to the health of your lawn.    Equipment like spiked shoes can actually make the problem worse. Call us to get the job done right.

Benefits of Aeration
  • Increases water, air, and nutrient penetration to the root zone
  • Decreases thatch buildup
  • Promotes stronger and deeper root growth
  • Increases fertilizer effectiveness
  • Increased heat and drought tolerance
  • Reduced water runoff and pooling
