CORE AERATION- THE FASTEST WAY TO FIX SOIL COMPACTION

---

Compacted soil is the most common ailment amongst all lawns. Over time foot, mower, and vehicle traffic on soil compacts it to a point in which it begins to inhibit growth. As it becomes compacted, there is less and less space between soil particles. This slowly removes the tiny channels in which roots grow, and water & nutrients filter down. You end up with a soil so compacted that roots can't grow deep and water can barely even infiltrate the soil- a candle lit at both ends.

Our core aerator machine pulls thousands of small plugs from your compacted lawn and redistributes them along the soil surface. As rain and irrigation hit the plugs, they dissolve back into the openings as loose soil that roots and water can utilize more efficiently.

Since you are also able to infiltrate water deeper into the soil with core aeration, it also reduces the amount of water required to keep your lawn looking great through the hot, dry Texas summer. This has the additional benefit of causing roots to grow deeper in chase of the deeper water, leading to even more drought tolerant. Lastly, each time it rains you are capturing more rainwater on your soil and losing less to runoff. You get more rain per rain, so to say.

Compacted soil has the same negative effects on trees as it does turf, so this is a great service for overall property vitality and resilience.

This service will give you benefits even if you follow a chemical lawn program or do no fertilizing at all. If you only do one thing for your lawn health, this should be it.
