When your soil is hard and compacted, water, air, and nutrients cannot penetrate the ground and reach the grassroots for absorption.
If you notice dead or thin grass patches on your lawn, you can seed the lawn to fill those thin areas. Seeding is best done after core aeration so the seeds can penetrate the soil and receive the nutrients they need to grow. After aeration and seeding, you may fertilize to further enhance lawn growth.
Your lawn is puddling
Thatch thicker than a ½-inch is present
Grass has stopped growing
You cannot stick a screwdriver into the soilCore aeration pulls soil cores out of your lawn to relieve compaction and ensure grassroots access to necessary nutrients. At Scientific Plant Service, we recommend aeration for most lawns one to two times per year. We can provide efficient and effective core aeration with our core aerators ranging in size from 18 to 84 inches wide. Our equipment can penetrate even the driest lawns.
The best time to schedule Baltimore core aeration is spring or fall (March to May or August to November). Aerating before the late-season fertilization will enhance root growth and improve spring return. Aeration is also recommended before applying pre-emergent herbicides. After aeration, you can enjoy the following benefits:
Grassroots more easily absorb nutrients, air, and water
Stronger roots overall
Reduced water runoff and puddling
Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance
Improved thatch breakdownDeep-tine aeration is the first step for a well-drained field. Our Verti-Drain® deep tine aeration can penetrate the soil up to 16 inches deep. The patented kicking action shatters the soil deep down to reduce compaction and improve drainage.
Surface aeration is accomplished with the John Deere Aercore™. This opens the soil and reduces thatch by removing ¾-inch cylinders of soil up to four inches deep. The core debris is then broken up and worked back into the surface.
