How does aeration benefit the lawn?
Core aeration will reduce soil compaction and enhance thatch breakdown, thus improving soil water uptake and decreasing water runoff and puddling. Core aeration allows air, water, and fertilizer to better reach the root zone. This stimulates root growth to create healthier, stronger turf grass plants. (right) How is 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 aeration needed? Due to the clay soil in the Massachusetts and surrounding area, we recommend that your lawn be aerated at least once per season. Some lawns may need to be aerated more than once a season, depending on lawn conditions. When is the best time for 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
