The process of mechanically removing small plugs of soil from a lawn to improve air circulation, water penetration, and nutrient uptake can be facilitated through acquiring the necessary equipment from a supplier. This equipment typically utilizes hollow tines to extract these cores, leaving them on the surface to decompose and enrich the soil. This practice is often employed on compacted or thatch-heavy lawns.
Improved root development, enhanced fertilizer effectiveness, and reduced water runoff are key advantages of this soil cultivation technique. Historically, manual tools were used for this labor-intensive process. Modern mechanized options offer significant efficiency improvements, making lawn care more accessible and less demanding. This practice contributes to healthier, more resilient turfgrass, particularly in areas with high traffic or clay soils.
