Aerate Your Lawn And Let Your Grass Breathe

Compacted soil and thatch are two big obstacles to a beautiful lawn. They tend to suffocate grass plants by preventing air, water and nutrients from reaching the root zone. This means your lawn looks less than satisfactory in spite of adequate fertilization, water, and tender loving care! Aeration opens up the thatch and helps relieve compaction. It should be a regular part of your annual lawn maintenance program.

Aeration is accomplished through the use of a machine equipped with cylinder-like tines designed to penetrate and shatter the soil. Cores of thatch, soil and grass are actually pulled out of the ground during the process. The plunging action of the tines opens up the soil, allows grass plants to breathe, permits better utilization of fertilizer, air, and water and promotes a deeper, healthier root system.

Major Benefits of Aeration

• Increases air, water, and nutrient movement to the root zone.
• Intensifies decomposition of thatch.
• Helps prevent soil compaction.
• Stimulates new growth.
• Loosens heavy clay soil.
• Promotes denser turf which crowds out weeds such as crabgrass, dandelions, and clover naturally.
• Creates thicker, more vigorous looking turf.
• Slows erosion of slopes and hillsides.
• Improves drainage.
• Increases the effectiveness of fertilizers and other lawn care products.
• Provides a better environment for overseeding.

Overseeding: Core aeration plugs and holes trap water and dew providing a beautiful microenvironment for seed germination. AgroLawn overseeds with quality seed blends, including tall fescue blends and tall fescue blended with perennial rye grass for quick germination.
