Aeration is the procedure of getting air to the roots of the grass. Penetrating through a compact soil layer and  thatch layer. De-compaction is relieving the pressure between soil particles so they are less dense. For all intents and purposes they are the same and result in getting more air deeper in to the soil. It is these air spaces that partially fill up and store the rain water and nutrients for use by the grass.

As well as relieving compaction, aeration also allows air, rain and nutrients to penetrate a hard surface, improves bacterial activity and helps reduce thatch. It also improves drainage from the surface, increases the water holding capacity and therefore stimulates rooting and greater root depth giving a more drought tolerant lawn. If your lawn suffers from premature drying, poor drainage or moss invasion aeration will help.
