Aeration is the process of mechanically removing small plugs of soil and thatch from the lawn to improve natural soil aeration. Why Aerate? To Build a Healthy Root System! Aeration Accomplishes this through: Enhancing air exchange between the soil and atmosphere (allows roots to breath) Improving water uptake (water reaches roots where it is needed) Improving fertilizer uptake and use (nutrients reach root system) Reducing soil compaction (enables deeper root system) Breaking down thatch (enables better air,water, and fertilizer use) THIS RESULTS IN A DEEPER ROOT SYSTEM THAT WILL TOLERATE HEAT AND DROUGHT STRESS MUCH BETTER. THIS RESULTS IN A THICKER MORE DENSE LAWN THAT WILL OUT COMPETE WEEDS NATURALLY. Aeration is vitally important to any lawn care program and should be done twice a year. At the very minimum, aeration should be done once a year. Aeration allows your lawn to thrive, GUARANTEED!!! TO BUILD A STRONG ROOT SYSTEM IS TO BUILD A HEALTHY AND THRIVING LAWN !!
