What is Aeration? Continued.

Your lawn requires three elements for survival - moisture (water), nutrients, and air. When your lawn gets heavily compacted, its roots get deprived of the air they need to survive and grow.

Additionally, aerating also allows water and nutrients to better penetrate into the soil and to the grass roots. If you have problems with pooling of water in your lawn, or are on a steep slope of grade, aerating can help to trap the water and absorb it more quickly into the ground. If you have a small buildup of thatch each year, aerating generally solves this problem as well.
