Core Aeration
The Key to a Healthy, Lush Lawn
Core aeration is an essential practice for promoting a vibrant, healthy lawn. Many lawns today are growing on land that has been stripped of its nutrient-rich topsoil, making it harder for grass to thrive. This is where core aeration comes in—helping your lawn access the air, water, and nutrients it needs to grow strong. For the best results, core aeration is most effective in the fall and pairs well with dethatching in the spring to ensure year-round lawn health.
The Benefits of Lawn Aeration
So, what exactly is lawn aeration and how does it work? Aeration involves removing small plugs, or "cores," from your soil, typically 2-3 inches deep. These cores are left on the surface, where natural microbes break down thatch, encouraging healthier soil. While aeration helps with thatch reduction, it doesn’t eliminate the need for dethatching in the spring.
The benefits go beyond surface-level improvements. The holes created during aeration allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil more easily, reaching the grass roots. As your grass roots grow deeper and spread out, they form a more resilient root system, making your lawn stronger and better able to withstand stress from heat, drought, and foot traffic.
