Core Aeration

Improved Lawn Density and Promotion of Deeper Root Growth

Aeration increases the penetration of air, water and nutrients into the root zone area, stimulating new root development and encouraging thicker turf growth. Your lawn will be healthier and greener throughout the growing season.

More Beneficial Than “De-Thatching”

Soil aeration promotes the decomposition of thatch while improving the soil structure. Aeration also does not leave the lawn in the stressed and unsightly condition that de-thatching often does. Aeration increases the penetration of air, water and nutrients into the root zone area, stimulating new root development and encouraging thicker turf growth.

Recommended for Overseeding

For existing lawn renovation or overseeding, aeration is an ideal way to create lodging places for the seed to germinate.

Reduces the Possibility of Disease and Insect Infestation

Lawn aeration relieves the disease-creating effects of soil compaction and increases the decomposition of thatch to reduce this insect- and disease-breeding habitat. Aeration is much safer and less costly than corrective chemical treatments.

Promotes the Decomposition of Thatch

Removing cores of soil and thatch increases the infiltration of air and water into the thatch layer. This will encourage conditions favoring micro-organism activity that breaks down accumulated thatch.

Increased Nutrient and Water Retention

Aeration opens up the soil, allowing air, water and nutrients to move into the root zone. Aeration also “prunes” the roots, creating more root growth and greener, healthier turf.
