Aeration is the process of removing small plugs of turf and soil from a landscape.
It is important to provide your lawn with this service in order to assist in the naturally-occurring exchange of gases and the absorption of water.
While typically recommended as a bi-annual service, aeration may need to be scheduled more frequently in order to be most effective.
Tools are available for homeowners who wish to aerate their lawns themselves, however, a professional lawn care service is equipped and able to perform this task, if so desired.
