Aeration & Top Dressing

Core Aeration

Anytime the soil is compacted, core aeration effectively opens the pores of your soil and is one of the most important cultural practices available for your lawn. Aeration helps control thatch, improves the soil structure and create growth pockets for new roots. It also opens the way for water and fertilizer to reach the root zone.

Aeration works by removing thousands of small cores of soil from 1-3" in length from your lawn. These cores slowly break down and dissolve back into your lawn in the following weeks. The holes created by this treatment allow fertilizers, water and air to go down deeper into the root zones while relieving soil compaction. This results in a stronger, healthier root system necessary to achieve the best quality lawn possible.
