For this years Spring aerification, we went with a different process. Instead of the traditional 1/2-inch coring tine, we decided to use our much less invasive Hydroject. The Hydroject injects high pressure water to a depth of 2-3 inches. We followed that with a moderate verticut in two directions, seed, and then a healthy dose of sand.
Although we lightly topdress throughout the year, aerification is a good time to put on extra to help protect the crown of the plant, as well as reduce unwanted thatch. Not to mention, it provides a firmer and smoother putting surface.
