Aeration is the removal of small plugs of soil from your lawn.  Aerating your lawn enhances the movement of air, water, and nutrients to grass roots.  This is a very natural and inexpensive way to enhance your turf and the appearance of your lawn.

     Without aeration the soil compacts to limit moisture, air, and nutrients from reaching the roots. Grass plants become stressed and are less able to compete with weeds.  The population of important composting organisms such as earthworms decline. The ecosystem of the turf breaks down and the quality of the lawn diminishes at an accelerated rate.

     Aeration is essential to get moisture, nutrients, and air directly to the turf roots. Aeration will be an important factor for taking full advantage of the ideal growth opportunity during the fall and spring seasons.  Fertilization, pH balancing, and overseeding treatments are much more effective when performed immediately after aeration.  Aeration will also perforate and open up a suffocating thatch layer.  Aeration is fundamental to supporting a vibrant turf ecosystem.  Aeration will foster your lawns rapid recovery after the stress of summer and the dormancy of winter.  Aerating is not only an economical lawn treatment but its just naturally good common sense lawn care.

The Benefits of Aeration: 

1)      Loosens and softens the soil to allow moisture, oxygen, and nutrients to reach grass roots.

 2)    Penetrates and begins the break up of a suffocating thatch layer.

 3)      Supports and increases the population of earthworms and other organisms that provide

         natural composting and are vital to a turf’s naturally beneficial ecosystem.

 4)      Grass plants are stimulated to produce new shoots in a healthier environment.

 5)      The maximum benefit of rainfall is utilized with run off reduced.

 6)      The turf is better suited to endure and to quickly
