Before a specialist aerates your lawn, they will examine the health of your grass. An expert will analyze every aspect of your turf to ensure they tackle the job properly. An aeration professional will remove what we call ‘plugs’ from your lawn. This process proceeds in a safe manner. If it’s done without a professional, you may begin damaging your lawn.

Once the plugs are removed from your lawn, it’s up to mother nature to finish the rest. Nutrients will immediately be absorbed and your lawn will thank you. After your lawn is aerated, sit back, relax, and watch your lawn thrive.
