Aeration:
Lawn aeration has been proven to be one of the most beneficial things you can do for your lawn regarding lawn maintenance. Studies show that aeration helps stimulate root growth of your lawn and help break up compacted soils.

Benefits of aeration:
- Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere.
- Enhanced soil water uptake.
- Improved fertilizer uptake and use.
- Reduced water runoff and puddling.
- Improved turfgrass rooting.
- Reduced soil compaction.
- Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance.
- Improved resiliency and cushioning.
- Enhanced thatch breakdown.

Thatching:
Not all lawns need thatching. Thatching should be done when there is an excess layer of thatch in a lawn. This can be inspected by cutting a slit in the soil and lifting an edge of the sod along the slit. By looking at the sod from the side- you can see the thatch build-up laying on the surface within the grass. If this layer is over 1/2 an inch- your lawn may benefit from thatching.

Why?
Thatch build-up can starve a lawn from blocking the root systems ability to receive fertilizer, water, and toher necessities it needs. Often time, a lawn with excess thatch will not benefit from fertilizer and will brown quickly during drought conditions. Fight back - save the grass- remove that thatch today!
