Lawn Aeration

Aerating your lawn is a great way to reduce thatch, loosen up compacted soils and make it easier for water and nutrients to reach the roots of your turf.

Over time without regular care, lawns can thin out and lose color due to excessive thatch buildup, hard or compacted soils, or periods of high temperature, high humidity, or drought. Aerifying and overseeding is recognized by turf experts such as golf course superintendents as the best treatment to control thatch, reduce compaction, fill-in bare spots and revitalize growth.

Aeration actually removes thin plugs of soil from the ground and deposits it in the turf. This plug contains not only soil, but more importantly, hungry microbes that begin digesting the layers of thatch. Over time, regular aeration will help reduce and control thatch, making fertilizing and watering your lawn more efficient.

When Thatch Blankets the Soil, It Chokes Your Lawn!
Thatch is the layer of living and dead stems, roots, grass parts, and other organic debris that forms on top of your lawn's soil. A little thatch is natural and even a good thing. However, when thatch builds up beyond about ½", it begins to cut off air, water, and nutrients from the soil and grass roots.

When thatch becomes too thick, your good grass actually begins to root in the thatch instead of the soil. That's when something needs to be done!
