Core Aeration

Core Aeration is the process of mechanically removing small plugs of soil from your lawn to improve air circulation, reduce soil compaction and promote root growth for a healthier grass.

Benefits from Core Aeration

• Thatch management, helps speed up thatch decomposition and allows water, fertilizer and air to reach the root system more easily
• Healthy grass requires thick deep roots. Aerating creates hundreds of small growth pockets that catch water and fertilizer, thus allowing roots to expand and grow deeper.
• Soil compaction- allows soil to decompress by removing cores of soil that will allow the remaining soil to expand, giving roots a looser structure in which to grow
