Professional lawn aeration also breaks up compacted soil, allowing water and fertilizer to penetrate into the root zone.
Hard Soil is Not Good
If you have extremely hard and compact soil you should look at adding materials such as pine bark, composted leaves and gypsum to the hard ground. This can improve its composition if your soil has a clay mixture. Using any or all of these organic materials will help.
Benefits of Lawn Aeration

Like aeration, you should leave dethatching to the professionals and the right equipment. Dethatching is a very strenuous and physical operation. Many other companies won’t dethatch because it is so difficult.
What is Thatch?
The thatch is the organic part of the grass below the blades and above the soil. A good time to remove your overgrown thatch is in the fall after all the trees in your neighborhood leaves have fallen.
In worse overgrown thatch cases, core aeration may be necessary when dethatching lawns properly.
Why You Need to Dethatch Your Lawn

For the Healthiest Grass
Is it possible to have a beautiful, green lawn?
When you establish a well grounded lawn maintenance routine. This can be established with a weekly lawn care program. Call RR Lawn Care and get a weekly program started.
Mow Weekly in Warm Weather Months
Having a lush beautiful green lawn needs mowing weekly. Mowing your lawn at least once a week from April through November is a standard lawn care routine for really healthy grass. Additionally, cut only about one-third of the grass height each time you mow. To accomplish this weekly mowing is a must.
Early Morning Watering
When you water your lawn early in the morning you are getting more of the water in the ground. Before the sun is up and evaporating the water on the blades. Try not to water when it is windy also. Late afternoon water can promote fungus growth.
A good practice if possible is to water longer and less often. This practice gets more of the water deeper to the bottom of the roots, helping them to grow deeper also. It is more difficult to do this if you have a slope where the water spills off the lawn.
Fertilize
Nutrients are always a winner, if you want the greenest lawn in town. Make sure you talk to your lawn professional about adding fertilizer.
Using organic matter like pine bark, composted grass and leaves and gypsum are very good fertilizers.
