Improve the overall health and appearance of your lawn. This is the process by which small soil plugs, typically 3-6 inches long, are removed from your lawn by the use of a machine called a Core Aerator.
One of the single best things you can do to improve the overall health and appearance of your lawn is core aeration.
This is the process by which small soil plugs, typically 3-6 inches long, are removed from your lawn by the use of a machine called a core aerator.
The main benefit of performing this procedure is to alleviate soil compaction, a common problem due to the high clay content of our regional native soil.
Soil compaction is a major cause of turf decline because it impedes turf root growth and development. This results in lawn thinning and deterioration and the promotion of weed growth.
Core aeration will improve the health and appearance of your lawn by:
-
- Improving turf root growth and development.
- Increasing soil microbial activity to help decompose thatch.
- Increasing water, nutrients, and oxygen availability to the turf roots to give it a competitive advantage over weeds.
Early fall is an excellent time of year to aerate your lawn. Take advantage of the turf’s natural shift of its resources from top growth to root growth, during this season.
A healthy lawn starts with a healthy root system, we recommend annual aeration for best turf results. Seeding and fertilization can also be done in conjunction with core aeration.
