Lawn core aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grassroots. This helps the roots grow deeper and produce a stronger, more vigorous lawn. The main reason for aerating is to alleviate soil compaction. Compacted soils have too many solid particles in a certain volume or space, which prevents proper circulation of air, water, and nutrients within the soil.
Granular fertilizer is released slower and requires regular water to maximize its effect. While core aerating the soil helps the plant take in more of the nutrients from the fertilizer, it is also important to test your soil for any mineral deficiencies. A low soil pH level can prevent your lawn from reaching its full potential. If your lawn is fairly new or your soil has never been tested and you can’t figure out what the problem is, we can help.
