and pests. Aeration services are good for most lawns every 1 to 5 years depending on thatch production and also soil compaction due to traffic, turf growth, and snow. Compacted soil will limit water infiltration, and reduces the availability of oxygen to the roots, restricting root growth. The holes left through aeration allows the oxygen and water to move into the soil providing improved nutrient and water uptake into the roots stimulating grass growth and resulting in a denser turf. (You will know if your ground is compacted if you cannot push a pen into dry soil.)
