Core Aeration, Thatch & Dethatching
Core aeration is a process that allows water, light, and nutrients to enrich your soil. The work is usually completed with a machine called a lawn-aerator, which removes the “cores” or plugs that cause unhealthy soil and block much-needed oxygen. Soil can also lose vitality when it becomes blocked by thatch. Thatch is composed of tangles of dead or living roots between the soil and the surface of the lawn.
The dethatching process removes the unhealthy crisscrossing of roots to allow oxygen and nutrients to reach the soil. If your lawn is badly compacted or riddled with thatch, our experienced professionals have the equipment and knowledge to handle the entire process.
Aeration does not need to be performed every year, but it’s an important step in restoring a lawn. Dethatching is best performed on an annual basis in the early spring or early fall months to promote healthy growth. During your consultation, we will help you determine what methods are needed for your property.
Thatch builds up when the micro-organisms in the soil cannot decompose the dead turf or grass tissue beneath the soil.
