Core Aeration
Revitalize Your Lawn for Stronger, Healthier Grass
Core aeration is a vital lawn care process that uses a walk-behind machine with hollow tines to extract three-inch plugs of soil and deposit them on your lawn’s surface. Don’t worry—these small core plugs typically decompose within about 10 days, returning nutrients back into the ground. By breaking through the layer of thatch that can choke out grass, aeration allows oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach deeper into the root system, promoting healthier, more vigorous growth. This method also relieves soil compaction caused by snow, lawn rollers, and foot traffic, helping your turf become more resilient in drought-like conditions. Additionally, aeration provides the ideal opportunity for overseeding, giving new grass seed an excellent environment to germinate and thrive.
