Why is Core Aeration important for my lawn?

The Core Aeration process involves running a machine across your lawn. The
aerator pulls a "plug" out the soil about 1.5 inches deep and about 3/4 of an inch
in diameter. These "cores" are left on the surface of your lawn to dry out. Then
the next time you mow they are crushed and the soil is mixed into the thatch layer
on the surface, adding micro-organisms to the thatch layer, allowing the thatch
layer to decompose.
Aeration also allows air , water and nutrients to more readily reach the root zone
by relieving  compacted soil and opening up the thatch layer.  
It stimulates new growth, improves drainage, provides a better environment for
over-seeding and increases the effectiveness of applied fertilizer and control
products.  

Aeration is one of the best things you can do for your lawn. It is suggested
that a lawn be aerated at least every other year, but preferably every year.
