While mowing your lawn weekly and fertilizing at the right time of year seems as though it will be the best for your lawn, you may be missing one crucial annual task. Aerating your lawn is a key to growing a thicker and healthier property in the Cary, Morrisville, Apex, and neighboring communities.

What is aerating? Aerating uses specialized machinery to create holes, or cores, in your lawn to allow nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach into your grass' root system. By pushing these vital elements to the roots of your grass, it encourages the grass to grow deeper roots, which in turn leads to thicker, greener, and healthier grass.

Some benefits of aerating your lawn include:

• Oxygen, fertilizer, and nutrients are able to more easily reach the roots of the turf and create a deeper root system.
• Thatch is disrupted and compacted soil is loosened.
• Thick turf is able to withstand pest attacks and also crowd out weeds.
• Gaining a thicker lawn.
