How to Lawn Aeration

Over time, foot traffic, mowing, and natural settling compact your lawn's soil, preventing water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. This rejuvenating maintenance involves using a core aerator to remove small plugs of soil, creating channels that relieve compaction and allow roots to grow deeper. Aeration is one of the most beneficial things you can do for your lawn—it promotes thicker turf that crowds out weeds, improves drought tolerance, and helps fertilizer and water reach where they're needed. The visible soil plugs break down naturally within a couple of weeks.
