Why Core Aeration
Over time, the soil condition of your lawn can become compacted. This can occur from normal usage or can occur
as a result of construction for new homes. Aeration of lawns with compacted soil, will facilitate a more efficient usage of water
and fertilizer applied to your lawn.
Aeration is typically achieved by using a machine which removes plugs of soil from the lawn.
This allows water and fertilizer to be absorbed more readily and thus improves the health and beauty of your lawn. A byproduct of
aeration is the reduction of thatch and associated problems.
There are many benefits of aeration
Water and fertilizer can be used more efficiently by your lawn
Thatch will be minimized
Grass
roots will grow deeper and healthier
Soil compaction is reduced
Improved lawns health and appearance
Ability of lawn to withstand drought,
pests and more activity
After the aeration process, your lawn will require less watering. In addition, it will look better and
be healthier. As such, it will withstand drier conditions without deteriorating as quickly as before.
Benefits of Seeding and Aeration Together
Planting additional grass seed into your existing lawn is called overseeding. Post aeration
overseeding is a great way to enhance your lawn. The newly sewn seeds can take advantage of the aeration process to more rapidly fill
in bare spots and thicken existing turf. Overseeding at the time of aeration will make your lawn healthier, more beautiful,
and more durable allowing more activity without the usual signs of wear.
