Aeration
Lawn Aeration
As a grass specialist we know that the benefits of lawn aeration are many and it is recommended that the process be repeated more than once a year, particularly in areas where there are heavy concentrations of clay soil.
Solid Tine Aeration
As part of our treatment programme Stripes Lawn Care carry out solid tine aeration during November and February. Customers have the choice of either having their lawn aerated in autumn or winter, or both.
Following Aeration November the benefits will become noticeable and with a repeat of the process in February your lawn will be entering the spring period in excellent condition.

Hollow Core Aeration
Hollow Core Aeration thins out the layer of thatch which lies on the surface of the soil and breaks up sub-surface thatch. This enables moisture, nutrients, oxygen and fertliser to reach the root zone of the turf which will accelerate the improvement in the lawn. Also roots are pruned encouraging new growth and improving the root system.
Hollow Core Aeration is also very effective at breaking up compacted and clay type soils which will improve surface drainage and problems associated with surface water.
We also use Hollow Core Aeration during our Lawn Renovations, prior to applying top dressing.
