Lawn Aeration

    Lawn aeration is a great way to reduce thatch build up and soil compaction. KST Groundskeeping uses core aerating equipment, which pulls small plugs of soil about 2"- 5" deep and leaves it on top of the lawn. Spring and fall are the best times for aerating, but can be done anytime through the season. The benefits of aerating are:
-Plugs break down in about a weeks time, this provides nutrients
-Organic fertilizers and nutrients get access to the root system
-Water is able to better soak the soil and reach the root system
-Helps to break up thatch
-Tight, compacted soil is loosened up allowing the root system to grow
-Oxygen gets to the roots and the soil allowing it to "breathe"
Aerating is a great way to help keep a healthy looking lawn.
