Why does your lawn need to be aerated?

Aerating your lawn is beneficial for several reasons:
  • Increases soil porosity which leads to better air, water and fertilizer infiltration in the root-zone of your lawn
  • Decreases compaction caused by traffic
  • Improves rooting and turf quality
  • Increases microbial activity
  • Reduces thatch
  • Increases tolerance to heat and cold
