- Mechanically remove plugs of soil to help control thatch and improve air/water circulation to roots of turf.
- Increase turf density while reducing soil compaction.
- Over seeding in fall creates a better lawn.
- Dethatch is needed when thatch is too thick for turf to grow successfully, after dethatching, a premium compost/top soil mix is applied to provide a fresh layer of nutrient rich soil to the existing clay giving seed optimal growth conditions.
- A watering schedule of the new seed is imperative for successful aeration and seed germination.
