Soil Aeration: the best thing for your lawn
Soil aeration is the mechanical removal of small cores of soil from the lawn using an aeration machine. It is the most important thing you can do to create a healthy, dense and robust lawn.
As all living things need air, water and food to be in good health, thus your lawn needs aeration. Aeration creates air spaces in the soil, which allow air, nutrients and water to get down to the roots and reduce soil compaction.
Aeration combined with overseeding makes your lawn vital, robust and dense.
Why Should You Aerate Your Lawn?
