Why Core Aeration Is Essential for Your Lawn This Season

Core aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil and thatch from your lawn to
relieve compaction, improve air exchange, and promote stronger root growth. This season’s
heavy spring rains and sudden summer heat have compacted soil and stressed turf, making
aeration more important than ever.

Benefits:
– Relieves soil compaction
– Increases water infiltration
– Enhances fertilizer effectiveness
– Reduces thatch buildup
– Prepares the lawn for overseeding

Fall is the prime time for aeration in southeastern Pennsylvania — soil is warm, weeds are
minimal, and cool-season turf can recover quickly before winter.
