Aeration

With the severe drought we had this season, we are strongly recommending all lawns in the Southeastern Wisconsin area to be aerated this Fall.

What Is Aeration?

Technically speaking, aeration is the naturally occurring process of air exchange between the soil and its surrounding atmosphere. Practically speaking, aeration is the process of mechanically removing small plugs of thatch and soil from the lawn to improve natural soil aeration.

Aeration Benefits:

· Oxygen gets to the roots and the soil allowing it to “breathe”

· Water is able to better soak the soil and reach the root system

· Organic fertilizers and nutrients get access to the root system

· Helps to break up thatch

· Tight, compacted soil is loosened, allowing the root system to grow

· Reduced water runoff and puddle formation

· Improved resiliency and cushioning
