The Science Behind Core Aeration
Healthy soil is the foundation of all professional landscaping, and removing small soil plugs is the most effective way to build that foundation. These open holes allow beneficial microbes to break down thatch naturally, while giving roots the physical space they need to grow deeper and thicker. As the extracted soil cores dissolve back into the surface, they return valuable organic matter to the ground, creating a self-sustaining cycle of health that keeps your yard vibrant and green throughout the year. frequently asked questions to learn more about our seasonal scheduling and package discounts.
