What happens here

The next crucial step is aeration. The presenter introduces a core aerator (rented for approximately $40), which punches holes into the ground and extracts soil plugs. He explains that this process decompresses the lawn, giving roots more space to grow and making it easier for water, air, and applied nutrients to reach deeper into the soil. This is especially beneficial before overseeding and fertilizing, as it exposes the underlying soil to maximize absorption.

Goal: Aerating the lawn with a core aerator creates holes in the soil, relieving compaction, improving root health, and enhancing nutrient absorption.
