Why aerate? Lots of people aerate their lawns. Opinions often vary as to why and how often to aerate. We have been in the aerating and thatching business since 2002 and we have seen the effects of aeration on 1,000s of lawns.
Why aerate or the benefits of mechanical core aeration are as follows:
Core Aeration keeps your lawn greener, reducing the cost of watering by:
1) Reducing compaction: If your ground is naturally hard or you have trouble with water going in to your soil, aerating can loosen hard or compacted soil.
2) Encourages healthy root development by allowing air water and nutrient more direct access to the soil or root system. Hopefully as root growth occurs, the turf thickens and this also acts to soften the soil.
3) Drought resistant: As root growth deepens, grass will be able to access water a deeper level. Grass may need to be watered less often. This can save you a little green and keep your lawn green at the same time.
4) Reduces runoff: Less water runs off your lawn because more of it is absorbed into your lawn.
5) Helps break down thatch: Oxygen is vital to breaking down that. Allowing your law to breathe more through aeration also allows the thatch to decompose faster in your lawn.
6) Why aerate? Aerating allows water, air and nutrients direct access to the root system.
