The basic idea behind lawn aeration is to enable your lawn and the soil under it to breathe.
The build-up of lawn thatch makes it difficult for your lawn to breathe. Lawn aeration
helps to control lawn thatch. The lawn aeration equipment will pull plugs of soil out of
the ground and let air in. Lawn aeration also reduces soil compaction, allowing water and
fertilizer to more easily reach the roots. Grassy areas that tend to have constant foot
traffic require more frequent lawn aeration.
Even with proper care, grass may thin and fade because of thatch buildup, compressed soils, high temperature, high humidity, or drought. Aeration and overseeding is the best treatment to control the buildup of thatch, decrease soil compaction, fill-in bare spots and regenerate growth.
Lawns benefit from annual aeration. Lawns that receive this care will be healthier, more vigorous, easier to maintain and have fewer pest problems than lawns that are neglected.
