Core Aeration
What is core aeration?
Core aeration is the process of mechanically removing plugs of thatch and soil from
the lawn.
Turf grass in compacted soil (left) grows slowly, lacks vigor and becomes thin or
does not grow at all. Core aeration (center) removes small cores or soil, depositing
them on the surface of the turf. This improves the depth and extent of turf grass
rooting (right).
How does core aeration benefit the lawn?
Core aeration will reduce coil compaction and enhance
thatch breakdown, thus improving soil water uptake and
decreasing water runoff and puddling. Core aeration
allows air, water and fertilizer to better reach the roots.
This stimulates root growth to create healthier, stronger
turf grass (right).
How often is core aeration needed?
It is recommended that core aeration be done at least once per season. Some
lawns may need to be aerated more than once a season, depending on lawn
conditions.
When is the best time for aeration?
Spring or fall is the best time for aeration. April in the spring and September in the
fall are the best months to plan for aeration. Warm days and cool nights along with
natural moisture provide ideal conditions for aeration.
