Break Up Thatch Layer

What happens here

Another significant benefit of core aeration is its ability to break up the thatch layer. Thatch is described as the dead layer of grass and organic matter that sits just below the green grass blades. An excessive thatch layer can prevent water, air, and nutrients from reaching the soil, creating an ideal environment for pests and diseases. Aeration helps integrate this organic matter into the soil, promoting decomposition and reducing its thickness. The visual shows the aerator machine in action across the lawn.

Goal: Reduce the thickness of the thatch layer for better lawn health.
