Aerification Process


The following videos feature footage from each of the steps in the aerification process.

Step1. We pull a 4"core that is 5/8" in diameter. These cores are pulled at a 2.5" spacing.

Step 2. A crew of 6 push these plugs to the greens edge.

Step 3. A crew of 6 shovels and loads the plugs for disposal.

Step 4. Once the the plugs are removed we apply a kiln dried topdressing sand to the greens.

Step 5. We use a ground driven brush to direct the sand into the open holes. Assuring that every hole is completely filled.

Step 6. We run a 30 minute water cycle to push the sand into the holes and turf canopy. This also provides relief to the stressed turfgrass.

This video shows a a green after the entire process is complete.


Thanks to my entire crew and the employees from Job Source for working hard to complete this process. Couldn't have done it without each and every one of you.
