Essentially, core aeration takes cylindrical chunks out of the lawn to make room for roots to expand. Soil, grass and thatch are removed by specialized machines and tools without harming the nearby grass.
Lawn aeration in Cornwall Pennsylvania is typically done during the fall, after your lawn has peaked in appearance. By performing aeration at this time, it will come back stronger and healthier in the spring and remain beautiful throughout the summer.

LAWN AERATION BENEFITS
Things like sun, drought, mowers and traffic take a toll on your lawn throughout the summer, and by autumn, you might be questioning where your gorgeous lawn went.
Every year, your grass needs some time to heal, and nutrients and precipitation, so it can return for the next summer. The recommended service to aid in this is professional lawn aeration.
Here is a list of some of the benefits that you will experience if you decide on professional lawn aeration every fall.
BREAKS UP SOIL
Compaction is a problem for soil. If the soil is too dense, air and water aren’t able to penetrate it and the roots of your lawn won’t ever have the opportunity to come into contact with valuable nutrients there.
Compacted soil can kill your grass by starving it. Core aeration reduces the density of the soil, allowing nutrients to reach the roots, resulting in an overall healthier lawn.
REDUCES THATCH LAYER
Thatch is a term that refers to the dead grass that builds up underneath the living grass on the surface. This is often grass that was mowed or that simply died and broke off. If thatch gets too thick, it forms a barrier that water and air can’t penetrate.
This is comparable to what happens with dense soil. Thatch can eventually starve your grass over time and result in big bald patches.
After core aeration, organisms that break apart thatch are introduced back to the soil. These organisms naturally control the amount of thatch between the soil and the grass (until the next time you do lawn aeration).
HELPS NUTRIENT ABSORPTION
As we mentioned before, nutrients are carried in air and water. But if the soil is too dense, these nutrients will simply wash away. By opening up small holes on the surface of the soil, we are able to maximize the amount of soil area that can absorb the natural nutrients.
It also helps the absorption of added nutrients. After aeration is the perfect time to fertilize your lawn, because the valuable nutrients will be maximized by the holes created during the process. As roots absorb nutrients, they will fill in the holes and the soil will settle to fill them in the rest of the way.
MANAGES WATER FLOW
Rain is good for your lawn, but at times there may be too much water for it to manage. When there are high levels of rainfall – or in the case of flooding from sprinklers, water hoses or pipe leaks – it’s nice to have a lawn that is prepared for excess water.
Aerating a lawn will reduce erosion and helps prevent standing water. The holes created from aeration give the water a way to spread without creating ruts or soggy spots below your grass.
THICKENS GRASS
While segments are removed, your grass will get thicker in following seasons . Aeration promotes over-seeding, a necessary development process for cool season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass and fescues which allows them to naturally crowd out unwanted weeds.
Lawn aeration in Cornwall increases the ratio of seeds in contact with the soil and aids in over-seeding.
PREPARES LAWN FOR WINTER
Ideally, you have both warm- and cool-season grasses in your lawn to increase the length of time you have green grass.
Prior to the cool-season, grass is dormant and it is the perfect time to aerate and fertilize your lawn. This combination will help the grass to look wonderful during the cooler months and protects it from hot summer days and extended periods of drought.

As a full-service lawn care company in Cornwall, we provide effective lawn aeration and fertilization services updated to meet each customer’s needs.

For best results, we recommend mowing your lawn and watering it lightly the day before your lawn is aerated.

Following your lawn aeration service from Action Home & Lawn, water it often. You will be instructed to keep off the grass as much as possible until over-seeding and germination happen – typically around 8-10 days. Once that is over, routine mowing can resume.
