Lawn Aeration

Aeration is a key service that is necessary to anyone in the Canberra region that is serious about having a great lawn.
Lawn coring is a highly effective method of aerating your lawn to combat compaction and thatch buildup. This process involves removing small plugs of soil from the lawn, creating a pathway for air, water, and nutrients to penetrate and reach the root zone. This encourages root development and enhances the overall resilience of the lawn. There are many advantages to aerating your lawn; here are three of the of the most important advantages for lawns in the Canberra region
- Promote healthy roots. Aeration combats soil compaction, which is the main contributing factor to an unhealthy root system. This means your lawn will benefit from increased root growth after being aerated. A lawn that has deeper roots has better resilience against periods of extreme heat and drought, and it also requires less supplemental watering as a result.
- Effectively hydrate the soil profile. Aeration creates a direct pathway for water to reach the soil beneath your lawn. The addition of a wetting agent after aerating will further aid in soil hydration.
- Improved response to granular fertiliser. Aeration will also allow fertilisers to easily reach the soil where the lawn can access the nutrients, rather than being trapped in the canopy or thatch layer.
