Gibson's Aeration

About Gibson's Aeration

Ground along this stretch of coast is sand over clay, and years of mowers, dogs and summer downpours press it flat until roots can't find air. Gibson's Aeration opens it back up — pulling cores across a lawn so water, oxygen and feed reach the root zone instead of running off the driveway. The plugs sit on the surface for a week or so looking like the yard has been visited by something, then they melt into the turf and the color starts to answer. It is unglamorous work with a delayed payoff, which is exactly why it gets skipped and exactly why it matters in Ocean Springs. A lawn that breathes handles the August heat like a different lawn entirely.
