Core Aeration:

 

 


What is Core Aeration?
Core aeration is simply the removal of hundreds of small soil plugs from a lawn, to help break up soil compaction and improve root growth.

How is Core Aeration done?

Our specially designed aeration equipment consists of a series of hollow coring tines mounted on wheels. When these hollow tines are rolled over your lawn, they puncture the soil, systematically removing small soil plugs.

How often is Core Aeration needed?
We recommend that your lawn be aerated at least once every other season. Some lawns may need to be aerated more often depending on the clay content.

When is the best time for Core Aeration?
Spring or fall is the best time for aeration. March, April and May in the spring and September, October and November in the fall are the best months to plan for core aeration. Warm days and cool nights along with natural moisture provide ideal conditions for core aeration. Mid - summer months tend to be too hot for core aeration. Core aeration in the summer can cause stress to the turf by depleting moisture.
