Lawn Aeration
Because just like humans, your lawn needs to breathe in order to thrive, stay healthy and look beautiful
Aerating your lawn is one of the best things you can do for it.
When a lawn is properly aerated, oxygen is able to permeate the top layer of soil. Like all living things, grass requires oxygen and minerals to live. When aeration occurs, not only is oxygen allowed into the top layer, the thatch is broken up. Thatch is made up of living and dead matter, mostly roots and rhizomes, that can build up into a kind of ‘carpet’ over the soil. Unless broken up, thatch will eventually cause soil to acidify making new growth harder with each passing season.
By aerating your lawn annually, thatch is broken up, allowing oxygen into the soil. The plugs are then left on the ground to be broken up from either rain water or by your lawn being mowed. This breakdown will naturally redistribute minerals and organic compounds back into the ground, guaranteeing a good growth cycle the following season.
Benefits of Lawn Aeration
