What is Turf Aeration?
Out of all the things that build a healthy, thick lawn; core aeration is second only to lawn fertilizing. Core aeration reduces thatch in your lawn while it opens the way for water, air and fertilizer to reach the root level of the turf. Lawn aeration is the answer to getting the most out of your other lawn care services. Every aeration also includes an application of organic fertilizer. We at Platinum Lawn Solutions suggest getting aeration twice a year.
One of the best benefits of lawn aeration is that it can improve the overall health of your grass. The growth pockets that are created when lawn aeration cores are removed put food and water in easy reach of the turf roots. The root system of the lawn actually grows toward these pockets and becomes deeper and stronger.
Core Aeration Benefits
Thatch is the layer of dead and living stems, blades and roots that builds up on any well-maintained lawn. A small amount of thatch is a good thing, but when it gets over about a 1/2 inch, it becomes a problem. Thatch harbors insects and is a breeding place for lawn disease, too. Lawn aeration removes thousands of plugs of soil from your lawn and deposits them above the thatch. As the plugs begin to “melt” back into the lawn, the soil mixes with the thatch and speeds up the natural process of decomposition. By practicing regular lawn care aeration, thatch is managed and seldom becomes a serious and expensive problem.
Reduces Thatch Build Up
Soil becomes very compacted over time. When compaction occurs oxygen cannot get down into the soil and root zone. Oxygen plays a key role in root and soil health. Core aeration services allow the soil to “relax”, or expand, which means roots can penetrate deeper and further. Over a period of time, this results in soil that is softer and more open. Lawn aeration/core cultivation is one of the best things you can do to improve and grow your lawn.
