Why Aerate Your Lawn?
Roots need more than just water and fertilizer
to survive. They also need OXYGEN! Roots absorb
neither water nor fertilizer unless oxygen is also present
in the soil. Aeration dramatically reduces soil compaction
by removing plugs of
Healthy Soil Profile soil from the lawn and
leaving holes
AIR-25%
SOIL-50%
which allow
WATER-25%
oxygen to reach
the roots, creating
growth pockets for new
roots. This practice intensifies rapid and healthy root
growth.
A healthier root structure improves the lawn’s ability
to reach water and other nutrients deep in the soil. This
makes your lawn more resistant to heat and drought.
The 10 Benefits of Core Aeration
1. Helps conserve water
2. Enhances heat and drought stress
tolerance
3. Enhances soil water uptake and use
4. Reduces water runoff
and puddling
5. Reduces soil compaction
6. Improves air exchange
between the soil and
atmosphere
Commonly Asked Questions
Regarding Core Aeration
7. Improves fertilizer
How big are the plugs that are removed from
the ground?
The soil plugs are about 3” inches long and about
3/4" wide, about the size of your thumb.
8. Improves turfgrass
How long do the plugs remain after aerating?
It depends on the time of year, amount of rainfall, etc.,
but they typically dissolve within a couple of days.
Mowing will break up most of them, and nature will
do the rest over a short period of time.

How often should a lawn be aerated?
Because all lawns grow better with increased oxygen,
water and nutrient flow, experts agree lawns should be
aerated at least once a year.
