lawn aeration

Turf breathing treatment

Lawn aeration is the process of perforating soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots.

This combats soil compaction, which prevents healthy root growth.

Aeration is typically done with a machine that removes small plugs of soil: The lawn service recommended aeration every fall.
