The growth pockets that are created when you aerate put food and water in easy reach of the plant roots. The root system actually grows toward these pockets and becomes deeper and stronger. Better roots mean a thicker and healthier lawn. Soft Soil Heavy clay soils can become very compacted over time. Clay soil particles are flat and tightly packed with little space between for water, air and root movement.
Aeration allows the soil to expand which helps roots to penetrate deeper and further.
