We offer core
and puncture aeration.
-
Core-
A plug or core is removed from the ground. This type
of aeration is better suited for well established lawns.
-
Puncture
A spike will leave a indentation in the grass. This type of aeration
is used when over seeding to promote new seed growth.
- Loosens compacted soil and increases the
availability of water and nutrients.
- Enhances oxygen levels in the soil,
stimulating root growth and enhancing the activity of thatch-decomposing
organisms.
- While removing cores of soil, the spoons or
tines also sever roots, rhizomes and stolons. Grass plants are
stimulated to produce new shoots and roots that "fill up" the holes in
the lawn and increase the density of the turf.
- Reduces water runoff.
- Increases the lawn's drought tolerance and
improves its overall health.
- Used as mechanical weed control in early
spring.
- A lawn may be aerated at any time the ground
is not frozen, but should not be done when it is extremely hot and dry.
Heavy traffic areas will require aeration more frequently.
