Our lawn care company looks forward to serving you! Aeration is a mechanical process in which plugs of soil and thatch are removed from the lawn. The plugs are generally inches long and are left on top of the lawn to work back into the soil. Over time, soil compacts cause a disruption in the natural decomposition of thatch.
This results in excessive buildup of thatch. The root zone of your lawn can suffocate because it is not adequately receiving air, water and nutrients. This can cause turf areas to thin out, despite adequate fertilization and watering. Lawn aeration opens up the thatch layer and helps relieve soil compaction, allowing air, water and nutrients to reach the root zone where they are needed most.
All lawns benefit from an annual lawn aeration. A lawn can be aerated at any time the ground is not frozen, but should not be done when it is extremely hot and dry.
