CORE AERATION -Keep making your soil better

To get a beautiful garden, you must till the soil. Aeration is how you till your lawn. Many people don’t think they need aeration until they see that their lawn is looking thin, or having other problems. Aeration will help fill thin, drought damaged areas if done consistently year-after-year. This makes the difference in keeping a lawn more consistently beautiful.

Core Aeration should be done yearly, if not both spring and fall, or at least every 1-2 years. This will establish and re-establish the root system and break down thatch. Aeration will reduce compaction, improve air exchange between soil and atmosphere, enhance water intake, improve fertilizer use, make turf grass more resistant to fungus and disease, stimulate turf grass rooting, enhance heat and drought resistance, and speed up thatch break down. If nothing else is done to your lawn this year, aeration is one of the most beneficial. Aeration is recommended every fall for optimum health and lawn maintenance.
