Insects, diseases, improper watering and lack of fertilizer are often blamed for a lawn’s decline when the real culprit may be soil compaction. Lawn aeration is the only method to alleviate soil compaction, thus giving root systems the adequate amount of air, water, and fertilizer to create a healthy green lawn.

In the Houston and surrounding area we have a lot of clay, decomposed granite and other poor soil conditions which rarely allow our lawns to thrive unless we apply some form of mechanical aeration.

Lawn aeration is the process of mechanically removing soil plugs and small portions of thatch from the lawn. This relieves soil compaction and improves the ability of roots to grow deeper into the soil and expand; improving air and gas exchange, along with water and fertilizer intake.
