Aeration

There are various ways you can aerate a lawn, but the most effective without doubt is Hollow Tine Aeration which Stripes Lawn Care normally carry out when your lawn is not actively growing.

Hollow Tine Aeration thins out the layer of thatch which lies on the surface of the soil and breaks up sub-surface thatch.This  enables moisture, essential nutrients, oxygen and fertliser to reach the all important root zone of the turf which accelerates the improvement in the lawn. Also roots are pruned encouraging new growth and improving the root system. 

Hollow Tine Aeration is also very effective at breaking up compacted and clay type soils which very often improves surface drainage and leviates  problems associated with surface water

Unlike some other lawn care companies we give our customers the option of  removing the cores following Hollow Tine Aeration and will leave them for you to compost. This ensures the lawn is free of debris which potentially could damage the turf and contribute to an uneven surface and is of course more attractive to look at.
