What is Lawn Aerating?

Core aeration is the mechanical removal of small cores of soil from the lawn using an aeration machine. It is often described as the most important thing you can do to create a healthy, thick and robust ,green lawn. Aerating is the process of removing small plugs of soil from the turf.

How does Aerating help your Lawn?

Plants need oxygen as much as they need carbon dioxide, but they need oxygen in their root areas. As people walk on their lawn, they compact the soil, squeezing it together and removing spaces that oxygen normally fills. Lawn aeration allows water to filter more consistently through soil, and helps reduce problems with thatch.
