How Do You Aerate A Lawn?

Your grass may take a beating during the hottest, most demanding months of the growing season. Weeds will invade, illnesses will spread, and pests will move in as dry, stressed grass thins down and occasionally goes entirely dormant. Even if the lawn is irrigated on a regular basis, the grass will almost certainly suffer.


Core aeration is one of the most effective lawn maintenance and recovery treatments available as summer draws to a close. In the fall, removing small plugs from the soil and allowing air, water, and fertilizer to reach the roots can help the lawn recover. Overseeding the thin lawn is a wonderful option. Combining over-seeding with core aeration is the finest technique to manage an established grass. Seed is inserted into open aeration holes as plugs or cores are removed, establishing seed to soil contact and preserving the seed. If you are looking for a lawn aeration near me, please contact us.


After aeration and overseeding, watering often will allow sufficient seed germination in time for young seedlings to establish necessary roots before the cold weather restricts growth for the winter season. The benefits will be visible the following spring as new grass plants fill in the gaps.


Aerators can be rented from tool rental agencies and some big-box merchants. A rotary or drop-style lawn fertilizer spreader can be used to seed. However, even the simplest aerators are quite heavy and inconvenient. Aerators may also be difficult to transport. If you don't have a pick-up truck, a way to load and unload the equipment, or the back strength to operate an aerator, hiring a lawn care expert may be the best alternative.
