Thinning and Off-Color Lawn…
Excess thatch and compacted soil block out air, light, water, and nutrients from reaching turfgrass roots. As buildup and compaction increase, the soil loses its ability to support turfgrass growth. It is estimated by the Lawn Institute that over two-thirds of residential lawns are growing on compacted soil. In general, the lawn becomes stressed.
It’s Natural! No Chemicals!
This is the most environmentally friendly solution for a beautiful and healthy lawn.
Soil Quality…
Under ideal conditions the soil should be composed of 50% solids, 25% air, and 25% water. Roots of the plant need oxygen, and as a product of their growth process, give off carbon dioxide. As compaction increase, less and less oxygen can enter the soil and less carbon dioxide can escape. The net result is a gradually thinning lawn until, ultimately, the soil can no long support turf growth. Aeration breaks up the compaction and loosens the soil so your grass can grow and flourish in the healthy environment.
Proper Drainage…
Proper drainage depends on your lawn’s permeability. Core aeration allows water to seep into the earth instead of collecting on the surface or running off, especially with our high clay-content soil.
