Compaction of the soil, particularly in the top two inches, reduces water and fertilizer uptake by the grass roots, thus reducing the lawn s tolerance to heat and drought. The amount of runoff from watering or the application of fertilizers and pesticides is also increased by compaction of the lawn s soil. Frequent core aeration by removing soil plugs from the turf with a Lawn Aerator will enhance root growth and establish healthier grass.
Aeration significantly increases water uptake and improves the lawn s resistance to drought.
Lawn Aeration can also reduce the expenses associated with the application of fertilizer and insecticide. Mid to late spring and early fall are the most ideal times to aerate Kentucky Bluegrass and perennial Ryegrass. Turf grasses such as Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine should be aerated mid spring to summer. Aeration before applying herbicide, fertilizer, and water is recommended. Two locations to serve you.
