Core Aeration – Pulling Plugs

Core aeration is the mechanical process of removing plugs (cores) of soil from the ground. The plugs are left on the surface of the lawn, where they break down naturally through normal mowing. Aerating is the most effective way to reduce soil compaction. Additionally, regular core aerating will stimulate new root growth, reduce thatch build up and allow more moisture and nutrients to be absorbed into the soil. Aeration is only done during periods of active growth in the spring and fall to promote speedy turf recovery. We generally recommend that established lawns be core aerated in the spring due to better (softer) soil conditions. For newer lawns or thinner lawns that need to be overseeded, fall core aeration is preferred. The core aeration will help prepare the ground for seeding to ensure quick germination and establishment.
