What are the Benefits of Aeration?
Core aeration can help make your lawn healthier and reduce its maintenance requirements through these means:
- Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere
- Enhanced soil water uptake
- Improved fertilizer uptake and use
- Reduced water runoff and puddling
- Stronger turfgrass roots
- Reduced soil compaction
- Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance
- Improved resiliency and cushioning
- Enhanced thatch breakdown
How Often Should Lawns Be Aerated?
Most lawns, benefit from annual aeration. Heavily
used lawns, or those growing on heavy clay or subsoils
may need more than one areation each year. Again,
turf responds best when tine spacing is closer and
penetration is deeper.
