Core aeration is one of the most beneficial treatments you can give your lawn. A professional aerator pulls small cylindrical plugs of soil out of the ground across the entire lawn, relieving soil compaction — one of the leading causes of poor lawn performance.
Compacted soil prevents water, air and nutrients from reaching the root zone, leaving grass with shallow, weak roots no matter how much you fertilize or water. After aeration, the plugs break down and return organic matter to the soil, while the channels left behind let water, air and nutrients reach deep — producing stronger roots and thicker, more resilient grass.
