Core aeration is the process of mechanically pulling up plugs of soil using an aerator to loosen compacted soil, break up the thatch layer, and open up channels that allow nutrients and other resources, such as sunlight, water, and oxygen, to reach the roots of your grass more easily. On the other hand, liquid aeration involves applying a liquid solution across your lawn to create tiny pores in the soil, effectively alleviating the hard, packed layer and aiding in deeper resource penetration to the root zone.

Both core and liquid aeration offer similar benefits that help your grass become healthier. However, core aeration is the best option for heavily compacted lawns because it can effectively get through the densely packed layer and loosen it. It's also ideal if you plan on overseeding afterward, as the holes created serve as the perfect spot for the seeds to fall into, helping them reach deeper into the ground and get excellent contact with the soil; this provides ideal conditions for germination and development. Additionally, core aeration yields results quicker than liquid aeration since it's a long process where you may not notice much change until after several applications.
