Why do you think your residential front or back yard needs plugs of turf
to be removed from it?

Plugs are NOT removed, they are extracted and returned to the lawn.
Plug aeration is a mild form of tilling that doesn't disturb the turf,
an excellent practice for ALL established lawns. I do not recommend
aeration for non-lawns, then rototilling with added amendments is
highly recommended. Aerating poor soil will not improve it, may even
make poor soil worse by accelerating erosion.
