  • Lawn aeration, also known as core aeration, uses a lawn aerator to create small holes in the soil. These holes allow air and water to reach the grass roots, improving soil drainage and promoting beneficial microorganisms, microfauna, and worms that need oxygen. Aeration enhances grass growth and offers numerous benefits for a healthy and lush lawn.

  • Before you decide to aerate your lawn, it's essential to understand the benefits of this process. Lawn aeration offers several advantages, including:

    • Healthier and more robust grassroots
    • Improved water and air penetration into the soil
    • Breaking up dense and compacted soil
    • Enhanced fertilization
    • Prevention of mushroom growth
    • Increased resistance to insects
    • Improved drought resistance
    • Encouragement of new growth
    • Reduced lawn maintenance requirements

When to Aerate Your Lawn

The timing for lawn aeration depends on the type of grass in your lawn. It's best to aerate in the spring and fall for cool-season grass. Warm-season grass benefits from aeration in the spring through summer when it's actively growing. Signs that your lawn needs aeration include poor water absorption, compacted soil, and lackluster or thin grass. Aeration can help improve these issues.

How Frequently Should I Aerate?

We recommend aerating your lawn annually. However, if your lawn experiences heavy foot traffic, it may need more frequent aeration. Including aeration as part of your spring or fall yard cleanup routine is a smart practice.

Can You Aerate Your Own Lawn?

While some homeowners prefer a DIY approach, using the proper equipment is crucial. Inexperience can lead to inadequate aeration, limiting the air, water, and nutrients needed for healthy grass. If you decide to aerate your lawn yourself, consider these tips, including soil preparation and proper tools.

Types of Aeration Tools

There are various tools for aeration, including spike aerators and core or plug aerators. Your choice depends on the specific needs of your lawn.
