What is Lawn Aeration?
Lawn aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This process helps to:
- Relieve Soil Compaction: Allowing roots to grow deeper and more vigorously.
- Enhance Water and Nutrient Uptake: Ensuring your lawn gets the essentials it needs for optimal health.
- Improve Air Exchange: Facilitating better air circulation within the soil.
- Reduce ThatchBuild-Up: Helping to break down the layer of dead grass and organic matter that can suffocate your lawn."

Frequently Asked Question

What are the signs that my lawn needs aeration?
Signs that your lawn may need aeration include compacted soil, water pooling or runoff, thin or patchy grass, excessive thatch build-up, and difficulty in inserting a screwdriver into the soil.
