Aeration

Aeration allows air, water and nutrients to more readily reach the root zone of the grass plants in your lawn.  It accomplishes this by relieving compacted soil and opening up the thatch layer.  It also stimulates new growth, improves drainage, provides a better environment for over seeding and increases the effectiveness of applied fertilizers and control products.  

Once aeration is completed, you will see cores on your lawn.  These cores will break down gradually over the next week or two.  This natural return to the soil helps hold the thatch to a desirable level.
