What does aerating a lawn do for it??

[huskyman]

Can someone please explain what an aerator does to yor lawn.

Sorry for the lame question, but I'm new to this, thanks.....

Aeration : Relieves soil compaction, stimulates root growth, allows fertilizer, water and oxygen to pass through the soil easily, smoothes surface over time as the cores "topdress", reduces thatch, can help reduce disease as well , and last but not least, puts money in your pocket, just to name a few.

If you search "aeration" I think you will have enough reading to keep busy for a day or more !

It puts holes in the ground, dirt on the grass, and the customer pays us just like jeffry said.

From a very large pack of small dogs or a large gaggle of Geese.
