In cool season environments like ours the Spring and Fall are good times for core aeration. Preferably, we want some time for the turf to recover from the aeration during times when the turf is growing quickly.

There are two approaches to aeration: spike, which uses spikes on a roller to perforate your lawn, and core aeration. At  A.C & A Landscaping, we rely on core aeration because it does a more thorough job. With this method, an aerator simply removes plugs of soil and thatch in your lawn. This makes way for more oxygen, water, nutrients, and sunlight to penetrate and flow deeply into the soil. As a result, your lawn will:

• Develop a stronger root system

• Absorb fertilizer and water more efficiently

• Grow in thicker and more vibrant in the weeks and months following aeration
