Aeration may be overlooked when trying to restore a lawn but is vital to bring it back to health. It improves drainage and reduces puddles formation.<\/p>\n<p>Spike aeration involves the use of an aeration machine with spikes up to a foot or more in length. It is sometimes used to address drainage issues in areas with turf. Core aeration is done on turf areas as a means of reducing turf compaction, reducing thatch buildup, improving the infiltration of water\/nutrients, encouraging deeper roots, and creating an environment where grass seed can have direct contact with the soil.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13697\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lilesnet.com\/dailydiary\/wp-content\/dailydiary\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_7006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13697\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13697 \" alt=\"The machine is on the move!
