AERATION

AERATION IS A MECHANICAL PROCESS THAT CREATES NUMEROUS HOLES IN THE SOIL BY REMOVING SMALL PLUGS OF SAND AND CLAY. THIS PROCESS OFFERS SEVERAL IMPORTANT BENEFITS, MOST NOTABLY OPENING UP THE SOIL SO GRASS ROOTS CAN BREATE ALLOWING OXYGEN TO PENETRATE DEEPER INTO THE GROUND, KEEPING THE LIVING ECOSYSTEM HEALTHY AND ACTIVE. AERATION ALSO HELPS RELIEVE THE WIDESPREAD ISSUE OF SOIL COMPACTION, WHICH IS COMMON IN YARDS WITH HEAVY SAND AND CLAY CONTENT THAT CAN BECOME NEARLY CONCRETE-LIKE OVER TIME.
