Unicorn Outdoor Services believes a healthy lawn starts with healthy soil. Over time, the soil in your lawn will become compacted and hard. If your lawn has not been responding well with proper watering and fertilizing, chances are it is the result of soil compaction. Compaction makes it difficult for roots to get the nutrients they need because they can’t reach deep enough. The solution is aeration. Fall aeration preps your grass for the spring, which will provide a greener and thicker lawn the following year.
How Core Aeration Works…
Aeration is the process of poking small holes that prepare the soil to accept water, air, and essential nutrients that help the grass roots to thrive. Aeration is a great option to combat the problem of compacted soil, which can leave your grass roots struggling to survive. One of the most common reasons for compacted soil are areas of the lawn receiving heavy foot traffic from playing sports or enjoying the day with family and friends. Aeration strengthens the roots, and strong roots is the first step in creating a beautiful lawn.
