What Turf Aerification Accomplishes

All Pro Turf Aerification is currently the best way to aerate turf, whether it is a Baseball Field, Soccer Field, Football Field, Country Clubs (golf), School or Muni property. All Pro Turf Aerification allows turf roots to go deeper, making them stronger that allows water to penetrate equally throughout the subsurface because it keeps it from sitting on the surface, which reduces evaporation. This method reduces your water usage upwards of 30%, saving money and sustaining your water supply.

Benefits of fall turf aerification

Improves your turf health. 

One of the best benefits of turf aerification is that it improves the overall health of your turf because of below surface penetration . Drill and fill aeration works to provide the root zone with greater access to air, water, and fertilizer. Access to air, water, and nutrients improves the health of the turf, resulting in deeper and more extensive turf roots.

Reduces thatch build-up. 

Thatch is the layer of dead turf that accumulates on your turf, builds up to a thick layer and can rob your turf growth of necessary rain and nutrients. All Pro Turf Drill and Fill Aerification helps manage that build-up by introducing thatch-decomposing microorganisms from the soil to the top of the thatch layer.

Relieves soil compaction. 

Compacted soil can prevent air, water and fertilizer from reaching your turf’s root system, causing dead spots, patches and/or thinning. By drilling and filling with sand, soil density is decreased, thus relieving compaction.

Benefits pH modification.

Applying lime and Sulphur after the drill and fill aerification method works well because it promotes the change of pH deeper into the soil. This process lets nutrients penetrate deeper into the root zone..

Benefits overseeding operations. 

It is helpful to integrate a drill and fill aerification process before and after seeding into an existing turf. Soil cultivation enhances seed-topsoil contact necessary for germination, and creates a moist, protected environment optimal for seedling growth and development.

Reduced water runoff and puddling. 

If you find your turf has runoff or puddling problems after a rain, turf aerification could be the fix you need.

Prepares turf for winter dormancy and a green spring. 

Before your cool-season turf goes dormant, make sure it’s in tip-top shape by pairing fall turf aerification with fall fertilization. Utilizing the drill and fill aerification process prior to fertilizing will help the nutrients soak in more effectively. Planning for aerification and fertilization in the fall gives cool-season turf enough of a buffer to protect the turf from summer drought stress and ideally enough time before the first winter frost arrives.
