Lawn Aeration & Spiking in Warrington

Soil does have tendency to become compacted over time… especially in heavy, clay-based soil types.

The particles in the soil get pushed closer together by heavy rainfall and particularly heavier traffic such as football or playing fields. This makes it difficult for moisture and essential gases to flow freely and reach the roots of your grass and lead to under-developed roots, weaker grass, and poor disease / drought tolerance.

Water-logging can be reduced dramatically by aerating the soil to a depth of 4 inches, then filling the holes with sandy top dressing to act as miniature ventilation shafts. This aeration will improve the flow of air and water to the grass’s roots and prevent further water damage.
