  What is Lawn Aeration?

Technically speaking, aeration is the naturally occurring process of air exchange between the soil and its surrounding atmosphere. Practically speaking, aeration is the process of mechanically removing small plugs of thatch and soil from the lawn to improve soil aeration. Textbooks often refer to the practices of soil aeration as soil cultivation (coring, spiking and slicing). The aeration process is also commonly called core aeration in the lawn service industry, and homeowners often refer to it as aeration.
  What are the Benefits of Aeration?

Core aeration helps the lawn´s health and vigor, and it reduces maintenance requirements. The following are other benefits of core aeration.

  • Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere.
