Importance of Core Aerating
Lawns where a lot of activity takes place can become
compacted. Over time thatch can also build up to create a
barrier, keeping water and air from reaching the roots.
Core aeration reduces compaction and thatch to let air,
water, and fertilizer down to the root zone. Healthy roots
are essential to good lawn growth. Core aeration also
stimulates root growth by “pruning” the roots. As an added
benefit, the removed cores deposit valuable micro-organisms
on the
lawn surface.
Professionals aerate both Spring and Fall, depending on the
type of grass, but aeration is good for most lawns anytime.
Check with your lawn care professional for the best
schedule for your area. For large lawns, simply choose a
new smaller section to aerate as part of your regular
maintenance. The difference between aerated and not-aerated
sections will be quickly seen.
