Benefits of Core Aeration
- Relieves soil compaction
- Increases water infiltration
- Stimulates new root
development
- Improves turf thickness,
vigor, and overall health
- Provides better fertilizer
penetration into the root zone
- Increases air penetration into
soil which increases soil microbe activity
- Increased microbe activity
breaks down thatch

Aeration increases the penetration of air, water and nutrients into the root zone area stimulating new root development and encouraging thicker turf growth. Your lawn will be
healthier and greener throughout the growing season. More beneficial than de-thatching Soil aeration promotes the decomposition of thatch while also improving the soil structure. Aeration also does not leave the lawn in the stressed and unsightly condition that de-thatching often does.
Aeration increases the penetration of air, water and nutrients into the root zone area stimulating new root development and encouraging thicker turf growth. For existing lawn renovation or overseeding, aeration is ideal for creating lodging places for the seed to germinate. Aeration reduces the possibility of disease and insect infestation
Lawn aeration relieves the disease-creating effects of soil compaction and increases the decomposition of thatch to reduce this insect and disease-breeding habitat. Aeration is much safer and less costly than corrective chemical treatments.
Removing cores of soil and thatch increases the infiltration of air and water into the thatch layer. This will encourage condition favoring micro-organism activity that breaks down accumulated thatch.
Aeration opens up the soil allowing air, water and nutrients to move into the root zone. Aeration also prunes the roots creating more root growth and a greener,healthier turf.
Soils with a high percentage of
clay become very hard and compacted. This makes it difficult for
water, fertilizer, air and grass roots to penetrate into the
soil. Compaction also contributes to build-up of thatch. Aeration
was created to solve this problem. Core aeration (also known as
core cultivation, coring or plugging) is a process in which a
machine pulls small plugs of soil about the size your finger from
the lawn. These are left on the surface where they will break
down in about two weeks. Golf course greenskeepers use this
process several times a year to keep their courses in top playing
condition. Lawns grown on clay soils should have this done once a
year. |
