Over time, soil becomes compacted, making it difficult for grass roots to access water, air, and essential nutrients. Core aeration is the process of removing small plugs from the lawn, reducing compaction and allowing the root system to breathe. The holes created act as miniature reservoirs, improving moisture retention and reducing the need for frequent watering.
Aeration also breaks up thatch buildup, increases microbial activity, and encourages deeper root growth, resulting in a more resilient lawn. This process is even more effective when combined with overseeding, as the open soil provides the perfect environment for new grass to establish.
Regular aeration not only improves the lawn’s appearance but also increases its durability, making it more resistant to drought, foot traffic, and extreme temperatures. A well-aerated lawn allows fertilizer and organic matter to integrate more effectively, promoting consistent growth throughout the seasons. By improving soil structure naturally, aeration reduces the reliance on chemical treatments while creating a lush, green lawn. Give your lawn the space it needs to grow by scheduling a core aeration service.
