Aeration
Natural process of air exchange between the soil and its surrounding atmosphere. If this does not occur naturally on your property, 2Falls will mechanically remove small plugs of thatch and soil from your lawn to improve soil aeration. Textbooks refer to mechanical soil aeration as soil cultivation (coring, spiking, and slicing). In the lawn service industry the aeration process is commonly called core aeration , and homeowners often refer to it as aeration.
