ˇ Improves
lawn density and promotes deeper root growth
Aeration increases the penetration of air, water and nutrients into the root zone area
stimulating new root development and encouraging thicker turf growth. Your lawn will be
healthier and greener throughout the growing season.ˇ
More beneficial than "de-thatching"
Soil aeration promotes the decomposition of thatch while also improving the soil
structure. Aeration also does not leave the lawn in the stressed and unsightly condition
that de-thatching often does.
ˇ Recommended
for overseeding
For existing lawn renovation or overseeding, aeration is ideal for creating lodging places
for the seed to germinate.
ˇ Reduces
the possibility of disease and insect infestation
Lawn aeration relieves the disease-creating effects of soil compaction and increases the
decomposition of thatch to reduce this insect and disease-breeding habitat. Aeration is
much safer and less costly than corrective chemical treatments.
ˇ Promotes
the decomposition of thatch
Removing cores of soil and thatch increases the infiltration of air and water into the
thatch layer. This will encourage condition favoring micro-organism activity that breaks
down accumulated thatch.
ˇ Increased
nutrient and water retention
Aeration opens up the soil allowing air, water and nutrients to move into the root zone.
Aeration also "prunes" the roots creating more root growth and a greener,
healthier turf. |
