Whether you are a commercial business owner or a homeowner, maintaining your Georgia lawn is a lot of work.

What Is Core Aeration?
Core aeration is a specific type of lawn aeration that involves removing plugs or "cores" of soil from a lawn to allow air, water, and other nutrients to penetrate deep into your lawn. This type of aeration is one of the most effective forms to improve overall lawn health by reducing problems like drought stress, soil compaction, and thatch build-up.
Why Core Aeration Is Important
Air pockets are critical for allowing nutrients to travel into your lawn’s root system. Without these pockets or channels, your grass roots are struggling to breathe. When this happens, there is no amount of fertilizer, weed control, or water that can revive your lawn. Core aeration is a must so the grass and plants can benefit from these other lawn care essentials.
The Best Time for Core Aeration
For Georgia lawn types like Bermuda, and Zoysia. Core aeration is optimally performed after the threat of frost has passed. At Rivermoore Lawn Care, our team likes to perform core aeration the second week of April and continue until the end of July for optimal results.
