CORE AERATION
WHAT IS CORE AERATION?
Core aeration is a type of lawn aeration whereby a machine (a lawn aerator) with hollow tines mechanically removes plugs or "cores" of soil and thatch from a lawn. Core aeration reduces soil compaction, creating a channel through which oxygen, water, and nutrients can penetrate the soil.
WHEN SHOULD YOU AERATE?
You want to aerate the lawn when your grass is in its peak growing period so it can recover quickly—think early spring or fall for cool-season grasses. If you have high-traffic areas or heavy clay soil, you will want to aerate every year.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF CORE AERATION?
Core aeration can help make your lawn healthier and reduce its maintenance requirements through these means:
-
Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere.
-
Enhanced soil water uptake.
-
Improved fertilizer uptake and use.
-
Reduced water runoff and puddling.
-
Stronger turfgrass roots.
-
Reduced soil compaction.
-
Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance.
-
Improved resiliency and cushioning.
-
Enhanced thatch breakdown.
