AERATION

Service Description

The aeration of the lawn is a gardening process that involves perforating the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate more easily to the roots. This process helps improve the health of the lawn by relieving soil compaction, which can occur due to frequent foot traffic or a lack of natural aeration.

During aeration, specialized tools are used to create small holes or "plugs" in the soil, sometimes extracting small portions of earth. The goal is to improve air and water circulation in the root system, promote the growth of new roots, and reduce the accumulation of thatch, which is a layer of decomposed organic matter that can form on the lawn's surface.

This process is especially useful in lawns that have been subjected to heavy foot traffic or are on heavy, clay-like soils. It is also recommended to carry out aeration during the active growing season of the grass, typically in the spring or early fall, depending on the grass type and climate.
