What Does Aeration Mean?
Soil that lacks sufficient air can result in slow growth, bald spots, excess irrigation runoff, shallow root systems and a lawn that’s highly vulnerable to insects, disease, and heat damage.
To aerate a lawn means to supply the soil with air. The availability of air at the roots can help prevent a poisonous build-up of the various waste products that occur in the individual grass plants. In addition to sufficient air, aeration improves the lawn’s ability to absorb water and fertilizer as well. These necessities together provide for a much stronger, healthier and more beautiful lawn.
