Aerating

What is Core Aeration?

Core aeration is a process that involves removing small plugs, or "cores," of soil and grass from your lawn. These cores, typically about 3 inches deep, are extracted at consistent intervals across the lawn surface. This might seem disruptive, but it's a crucial step in promoting a healthy, robust root system.

Why is Core Aeration Important?

Reduces Thatch and Compaction:

Over time, lawns can develop compacted soil and a layer of thatch (dead grass and debris). These issues hinder healthy growth by preventing essential elements from reaching the roots. Aeration alleviates this, allowing the soil to breathe and nutrients to circulate effectively.

Improves Airflow and Nutrient Delivery:

Lawns need to "breathe" to function correctly. Just like the rest of us, grass needs oxygen to process the sugars produced through photosynthesis and send them to the roots. Compacted soil limits airflow, hindering this process and starving the roots.

Encourages Deeper Root Growth:

When the soil is dense, roots struggle to penetrate and grow. Instead, they grow sideways in a desperate search for nutrients. Aeration loosens the soil, making it easier for roots to extend downwards, resulting in stronger, more resilient grass.

Optimizes Water Penetration:

Compacted soil prevents water from soaking in, leading to runoff and wasted resources. Aeration creates pathways for water to reach the root zone, benefiting the grass and making your irrigation efforts more efficient.

Improved Root Health:

Better airflow, nutrient availability, and water absorption are the keys to healthy and robust roots.

Loosened Soil:

Aeration creates space within the soil, providing more room for roots to grow and expand.

Increased Lawn Density:

As the roots fill the emptied holes created during aeration, your lawn will become denser and more resilient.
