What does it involve?

Core aeration involves the use of specialized equipment to remove small plugs or cores of soil from the lawn, typically at regular intervals and varying depths. This process helps alleviate soil compaction, improve air and water infiltration, and promote healthier root growth, ultimately enhancing the overall vigor and resilience of the turf.

How does it work?

Core aeration involves the use of a machine called an aerator, which mechanically removes plugs of soil from the lawn surface. These cores are typically about 0.5 to 0.75 inches in diameter and 2 to 3 inches long. The process creates channels in the soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the root zone, promoting healthier turf growth.
