Core Aeration
Lawn core aeration is one of the best ways to help your lawn adjust to
the compaction of northwestern clay soils. Because of compacting clays,
summer time can be one of the hardest times for your lawn. It can be
difficult for your lawn to thrive without mechanical aeration. Core
aeration also improves gas/air exchange and water/nutrient intake.
Frequent core aeration can help a lawn stay healthy because it keeps
the soil soft and allow the roots to develop.
"In addition to compaction, thatch buildup can be especially damaging to lawns. This
buildup will act as a barrier to your soil , and prevents water and
nutrients from penetrating the soil. With aeration, the machine removes
small plugs of soil from the ground. As the plugs break down, they
provide your lawn with a valuable top dressing as well as helping to
deteriorate thatch. In addition, the holes left in the ground allow for
the nutrients and water to reach the root systems, which
in turn strengthens them. A stronger root system will provide you with
a thicker, more wear resistant lawn!" (Green Lawn Inc, retieved
