If your lawn has thin areas of grass, if it goes very brown throughout the hot months of summer, drains poorly, or even just struggles to grow throughout the year, there is a good chance that it is suffering from a soil compaction problem.

​

Hollow tine aeration is a highly effective treatment in helping to relieve compaction in the soil and to reduce sub surface thatch.  It physically removes a “core” of soil, allowing it to relax and breathe, creating holes in the ground through which air, water and nutrients can travel to the root zone of the grass where it is greatly needed. 

 

Hollow tine aeration is one of the most beneficial treatments you can do to your lawn and can be carried out at any time of the year if conditions allow.  It should be postponed if the soil is too wet or frozen.
