Lawn Aeration
Lawn Aeration is a process of poking small holes into the surface of your lawn allowing your lawn to gain more more nutrients by creating pathways for water, nutrients, and air travel more freely to the roots of your grass. This helps your grass remain healthy and full leading to a rich looking lawn for your yard.
There are several methods of lawn aeration, however at North Eastern Tree Care we focus on the most effective lawn aeration method, core aeration. Core aeration involves taking a machine across the lawn. As the machine crosses the lawn it will poke holes in the lawn leaving pathways for water, air, and other nutrients to move to the roots of the grass.
