Lawn Aeration
What is lawn aeration?
Aeration is the process of mechanically removing small plugs of thatch and soil from the lawn to improve
aeration of the soil. This reduces compaction and improves the ability of the roots to expand into the soil
and thus improves the lawn.
What are the benefits of aeration?
Aeration helps the lawn's health and vigor, and reduces maintenance requirements. Here are some more benefits.
-
Improved air exchange between the soil and the atmosphere.
-
Enhanced soil water uptake.
-
Improved fertilzer uptake and use.
-
Reduced water runoff and puddling.
-
Improved turfgrass rooting.
-
Reduced soil compaction.
-
Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance.
-
Improved resiliency and cushioning.
-
Enhanced thatch breakdown.
Happy gardening!
