EXPERT LAWN AERATION
Lawn core aeration is a very important service and should be completed each year to promote a healthy root system. Southeastern clay soils become very hard and compact over time, reducing the ability of the grass to expand and receive nutrients. In Georgia, warm-season grasses such as Bermuda and Zoysia should have lawn aeration service performed after spring green-up as the grass awakens from its dormant stage. At WeedPro®, we specialize in helping your lawn to grow well — helping you to have the best lawn possible. If you are looking for lawn care services like yearly aeration, reach out to us today!
WHAT IS CORE AERATION?
Core aeration is the process through which small soil plugs, or cores, are removed from the lawn. Most aeration is done mechanically by a machine with hollow tines or spoons mounted on a disk or drum. Known as a core aerator, an aeration machine extracts cores of soil from 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter and deposits them on your lawn. Aeration holes are typically 1-6 inches deep and 2-6 inches apart. This process encourages root growth and strength to help your turf to thrive — even when growing conditions are not ideal.
The Benefits of Aerating your Lawn
Aeration opens the soil to reduce soil compaction and minimizes thatch accumulation. Even if your lawn is lush, thick, and green, you should core aerate each year. Lawn aeration is best suited as a preventative measure rather than a corrective alternative.
