CORE AERATION - Why am I suppose to core aerate my yard?

The soil likes to breathe, take in and give off moisture, and gain and lose heat. Some of the grass roots like to grow, thicken, and expand in the soil. The best way to get this done is develop a series of holes through the grass and thatch into the soil that gets the job done. While the recommended frequency is one time per year, 85% of our clients have this service performed twice a year. Benefits are:

• Relieves soil compaction.
• Increases oxygen/gas exchange.
• Enhances percolation.
• Reduces runoff of water.
• Increases water retention.
• Enhances nutrient absorption.
• Modifies soil surface profile.
• Improves turf rooting depth.
• Relieves summer stress.
• Encourages breakdown of thatch
