Aeration is a process used to correct problems associated with compacted soil.
Why and How does your turf benefit from this process?
The WHY of Aeration:
The roots of turf areas need air as well as water and nutrients for growth. As turf areas mature, they can develop compacted, air-deficient soil. Compacted soil restricts water and nutrient absorption. The visual evidence of this problem usually manifests itself in the following way: brown turf areas that are not irrigation related, the need for excessive water and fertilization to keep the turf green, weed and insect infestation... general poor turf performance.
The HOW of Aeration:
Hollow metal tubes 1/4" to 3/4" in diameter are pushed into the soil by a machine to a depth of about 3 to 4 inches. These plugs of grass and soil are pulled back out of the soil and left on the grass area to dissipate. The aeration process opens up many tiny holes in the turf areas for oxygen, water and nutrients to penetrate into the root system. This produces more efficient water usage, less water waste and promotes healthier grass areas.
