What does aeration do?
Letting The Soil Breathe
Aeration punches holes through the thatch layer and removes small plugs of soil. This increases the surface area of the lawn, and promotes exchange of gases with the atmosphere. This in turn promotes the population of aerobic microbes in the soil, who need oxygen as they break down organic material in the soil.
