Why Is It Important To Aerate Your Lawn?

Basic lawn care essentials such as mowing, watering, fertilizing, and aeration should be followed if you want to attain a beautiful lawn. The question arises why aerate lawn? Let's shed some light on the topic.

Aeration removes soil compaction.

We live in an area that can often have lots of clay in the soil. Clay type soil is compacted, nutrients, air, and water fail in reaching deep into soil. This condition could result in grass thinning, dead spots, or patchy lawns.

So, what does lawn aeration do to help this?

In the process of aeration, tiny cores and plugs are pulled up in the lawn; this helps soften the soil so that both water and air can easily reach deeper into the the soil where the roots are, and want to be.

Aeration improves availability of nutrients

Lawn aeration allows nutrients to reach the root system of your lawn by penetrating deep into the soil to boost its ability to absorb nutrients more effectively, resulting in healthier grass. Aeration also provides a void for plant roots to spread and expand, allowing them to flourish.

When should I aerate?

Spring and Fall both great seasons for lawn aeration. Summer is the growing season and often too hot and dry. Winter is not advised because of frozen ground and limited lasting benefits. While both Spring and Fall have their own merits, neither is the final solution; Springtime aeration boosts the greening process of your lawn, while the underground root system is strengthened in the fall to go dormant over the winter.

How To Tell If Your Lawn Needs Aeration? Many owners struggle with this question but all you have to do is look for some telltale signs:

Your lawn has thin or sparse spots
Compacted soil
Lawn sees heavy foot or vehicle traffic
Discolored patches
Lawn stopped growing
Your lawn has more than a 3/8" layer of thatch (decomposing material)
