What are the benefits of Lawn Aeration?
During summer, lawns become the hub of outdoor activities, from BBQs to children playing. However, all this activity compacts the soil, restricting the lawn's access to essential nutrients. Lawn aeration, recommended at least annually, offers a remedy by improving air circulation, water infiltration, nutrient uptake, and drought tolerance, while also enhancing disease resistance and the lawn's overall appearance. This maintenance practice not only revives the lawn, making it lush and green, but also contributes to its long-term health and vitality, ensuring it remains a proud feature for homeowners and business owners alike.
