AERATION SERVICES
Core aeration is the process of punching holes into a lawn to enable water, oxygen, and other nutrients to penetrate the soil. A healthy lawn requires three elements for sustained growth -- moisture (water), nutrients, and air. Aerating your lawn can help in all of these areas, and is also an important part of helping increase the activity of soil microorganisms needed to decompose thatch and weeds.
Soils that are heavy in clay, like the lawns in Northern Virginia, are more prone to compacting, which reduces the amount of air and nutrients getting down to the grass roots that they desperately need to survive. With core aeration, the soil is loosened through the removal of soil plugs, which helps mitigate the effects of compaction on your lawn and allows the oxygen and other nutrients to get where it needs to go.
Aeration also allows water to better penetrate the soil and get down to those grass roots, which is essential for a healthy lawn. Without proper irrigation, the water just can't get down to the roots the way it needs to and the lawn eventually thins out and areas start to die off.
