“A plant is only as good as its roots and the roots are only as good as the soil.”

Air and water balance in the soil is the key to good root growth. Compaction stresses plants because air and water are “squeezed” from the soil.

Compaction makes both wet and dry soil conditions more severe. It reduces the water holding capacity of soil which makes drought conditions worse, and inhibits drainage to make wet conditions more troublesome.

Lawn aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil from the lawn to reduce compaction, allow the soil to breathe, increasingthe availability of water, nutrients, enhances oxygen levels in the soil, stimulating root growth, enhances the activity of thatch-decomposing organisms.

Compaction relief is the single most cost-effective method for producing healthy turf grass.
