Q: What is core aeration?
A: The most overlooked part of keeping your lawn healthy.
If your trash can is too full do you often find yourself pushing down to make room for more? Your lawn is very similar; water and nutrients can not penetrate the soil because the top 4 or 5 inches become so compact it creates a hostile environment for grass to grow. Core Aeration is a very simple process; plugs are inserted through an aeration machine to allow more oxygen to flow to your grass roots, which creates new grass shoots to grow!
