Core Aeration
Over time, soil becomes compacted and undesirable for healthy lawn growth. This process removes a 2"-3" core from the soil to improve air, water, and nutrient exchange. This procedure is the best way to promote healthy lawn which reduces weeds naturally. Aerating should be part of an annual lawn maintenance program.

Benefits
• Stimulates root growth
• Enhances water, air and nutrient exchange
• Reduces thatch
• Reduces weed growth naturally


Dethatching
Thatch is a layer of dead plant material that accumulates above the soil and below the grass blades. When the thatch layer is too deep, the lawn will begin to thin. Thatch will keep water, air and nutrients from getting to the roots. Lawns with excessive thatch tend to have shallow roots and are more likely to have problems with disease. Dethatching in the spring is the best time to promote a healthy lawn for the season.
