How Core Aeration Can Eliminate Thatch and Save You Money on Lawn Repairs

You’ve probably seen that spongy brown layer between your soil and grass yep, that’s thatch. Too much of it costs you time, money, and green color.

Why Thatch Is Bad

• Blocks water and fertilizer.

• Creates disease and pest havens.

• Suffocates roots.

How Core Aeration Fixes It

Result: Less repair, lower costs, and happier grass.
