Why Is Core Aeration Beneficial to Your lawn?

Core aeration has many benefits:

1. It breaks down thatch.  A layer of thatch can suffocate your lawn.

 

2. Reduces soil compaction which allows roots to grow deeper.

 

3. Provides air to the root system of your lawn which makes healthier roots.

 

4. Allows fertilizer and water to access root zone easier.

 

5. When done with overseeding it makes for optimal conditions to grow seed.

 

The seed can get into the voids left behind from the aerator and this makes for good seed to soil contact.
