  • Core Aeration for Alamo Turf Works in San Antonio, TX

Core aeration is a vital lawn care service that involves the removal of small plugs of soil and thatch from your lawn. The primary goal of this service is to alleviate soil compaction, which can occur over time due to foot traffic, heavy equipment, or even just natural settling. When soil becomes compacted, it can prevent the necessary flow of air, water, and nutrients to the grassroots, impeding their growth and health.

During a core aeration service, a machine with hollow tines is used to remove small cores of soil and thatch from your lawn. These cores are typically 2-3 inches in length and spaced several inches apart. The removal of the soil cores creates small holes throughout your lawn, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate more easily into the soil. The holes also provide space for grassroots to expand, promoting healthy root growth.

Core aeration can be particularly beneficial for lawns with heavy clay soil, as these soils tend to compact more easily than loamy or sandy soils. The service can also help to reduce thatch buildup, which can occur when dead grass and other organic materials accumulate on the surface of your lawn. Thatch buildup can prevent water and nutrients from reaching grassroots, causing them to become weak and vulnerable to disease and pests.

The best time to perform core aeration is during the growing season, when your lawn is actively growing. In cooler climates, the best time to aerate is during the spring or fall, while in warmer climates, aerating can be done during the summer. After the aeration process is complete, it's important to water your lawn thoroughly to encourage root growth and promote healing of the soil.

Overall, core aeration is an essential lawn care service that can improve the health and appearance of your lawn. By relieving soil compaction, reducing thatch buildup, and promoting healthy root growth, core aeration can help your lawn to thrive and flourish.
