Lawn Core Aeration

Akron Canton Lawn Care is preforming core aeration services in Rootstown and Alliance, Ohio.

The equipment we use pulls cores from your soil to eliminate soil compaction in your lawn. Where some spike aerators only will poke holes in the soil to create further compaction. Lawn aeration that removes compaction from the soil allows air, water, nutrients, and fertilizer to reach the roots in your lawn.

Thatch is natural and when it is kept at acceptable levels, can be beneficial to your lawn. An acceptable amount of thatch is a normal part of any healthy lawn. When thatch collects over ½ inch thick it becomes a problem. Thick thatch promotes insects and breeds disease.

Core Aeration speeds up the process of thatch decomposition, and keeps thatch at an acceptable level. With regular core aeration, thatch can be kept in check and not become a problem for your lawn. Most soils become hard and start to compact over time. The compacted soil particles do not have the area between them for water, air and roots.

Core aeration lets the soil expand dramatically and the space between soil particles is dramatically improved. Turf roots, water and air can penetrate deeper in more open soils.

Core aeration in Alliance and Rootstown OH works with or without seed to improve your lawn. Golf courses core aerate many times a year with and without seed. The golf courses aerate so often because they know the huge benefit of aeration to make turf happy, healthy and look appealing.

HOW WE PERFORM LAWN AERATION

1. A property inspection is done to take note of any potential risk prone areas.
