Let
Your Lawn Breathe
Here
is a list of some of the benefits of aerating your
turf areas:
•
Improves lawn density and promotes deeper root growth
Aeration increases the penetration of air, water and nutrients
into the root zone area stimulating new root development and
encouraging thicker turf growth. Your lawn will be healthier
and greener throughout the growing season.
•
More beneficial than "de-thatching"
Soil aeration promotes the decomposition of thatch while also
improving the soil structure. Aeration also does not leave
the lawn in the stressed and unsightly condition that de-thatching
often does.
•
Recommended for overseeding
For existing lawn renovation or overseeding, aeration is
ideal for creating lodging places for the seed to germinate.
• Reduces the possibility of disease and insect
infestation
Lawn aeration relieves the disease-creating effects of soil
compaction and increases the decomposition of thatch to reduce
this insect and disease-breeding habitat. Aeration is much
safer and less costly than corrective chemical treatments.
• Promotes the decomposition of thatch
Removing cores of soil and thatch increases the infiltration
of air and water into the thatch layer. This will encourage
condition favoring micro-organism activity that breaks down
accumulated thatch.
•
Increased nutrient and water retention
Aeration opens up the soil allowing air, water and nutrients
to move into the root zone. Aeration also "prunes" the
roots creating more root growth and a greener, healthier turf.
