Thank you for your custom

The idea of aeration is to break through any thatch at the top of the lawn allowing water and nutrient ingress and gaseous exchange. This leads to improved drainage with a drier top surface discouraging moss and disease.

The soil will benefit from a less compacted structure enabling new root growth. New and strong root growth is a must for a strong healthy shoot. The strength of grass root has a direct correlation to the strength of leaf. Conversely the length of the grass leaf has a direct correlation to the length of the grass root.

Aeration can be completed in different ways with similar benefits.

Types of Lawn Aeration

Hollow core : we take plugs of soil from the lawn, rake and dispose of them

Solid tine : holes are punched into the lawn and nothing is removed.

Aeration Benefits

Improved air exchange between the soil and the atmosphere.
Enhanced soil water intake.
Improved fertiliser uptake and use.
Reduced water runoff and pooling
Stronger turf grass roots
Reduced soil compaction
Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance.
Enhanced thatch breakdown.
Improved resiliency and cushioning.

We use a petrol powered aerator which uses either hollow or solid tines. The tines penetrate vertically to a depth of 7·6 cm (3 inches) and are mounted on pivoted bars which ensure vertical withdrawal without tearing the turf.

We are reliable professional and affordable.
