Improving Turf Density - Core Aeration

Improving turf density is a function of improving the growing power of your soil in conjunction with a continuous seeding program. Improving the growing power of your soil is accomplished with core aeration and topdressing maintenance services.

Core aeration is a mechanical process that places seven finger size holes into the soil every square foot. The holes immediately fill with oxygen; these oxygen rich holes encourage immediate expansion of your root system into the open air spaces and improve the availability of water and nutrients to the plant as well. Applying a top dressing into the holes after a core aeration is an effective way to correct the growing power of the soil.
