Lawn aeration is a method of mechanically creating holes into the turf to allow moisture, oxygen and nutrients to penetrate the soil. There are other methods out there such as spike aeration (holes are stabbed into the turf) but mechanically removing the cores places less pressure on the turf and soil because it removes the actual core of soil, turf and root.
During the process of core aeration, plugs are deposited onto the surface of your lawn, which breaks down over the course of a couple weeks with proper watering. As the cores break down, they provide great nutrition for the existing soil along with increasing the strength of the turf’s roots beneath the surface.
We core aerate from during late summer, from August 15th through September 30th.
