Did you know your soil should consist of 25% oxygen? If, however, there isn’t enough airflow \u2013 due to compaction and thatch build-up \u2013 it will stifle\u00a0grass roots, eventually suffocating them. The end result is\u00a0weak grass that looks worn out and thin. The good news is\u00a0with core aeration from Lawn Doctor of Wayne and Northern New Jersey<\/a>, we can help your lawn breathe again, producing the lush, healthy lawn\u00a0you’ve always wanted.<\/p>\n

What Aeration Can Do for Your Lawn<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When it comes to lawn aeration, there are a couple approaches to take. The first is called spike aeration and simply uses spikes on a roller to poke holes in your lawn. The second approach, core or plug aeration, is more effective and longer lasting. At Lawn Doctor of Wayne and Northern New Jersey, that’s the approach we use with our aeration services. By removing or coring out small plugs of soil from throughout your yard, we can help:<\/p>\n
