  • Lawn aeration, or core aeration, is the process of making small holes in the soil using a lawn aerator. These holes allow air and water to reach the grassroots, which improves soil drainage and encourages beneficial microorganisms, small creatures, and worms that need oxygen. Aeration helps grass grow better and offers many benefits for a healthy and lush lawn.

  • Before deciding to aerate your lawn, it's important to understand the benefits. Lawn aeration has several advantages, such as:

    • Healthier and stronger grass roots
    • Better water and air penetration into the soil
    • Breaking up dense and compacted soil
    • Improved fertilization
    • Prevention of mushroom growth
    • Increased resistance to insects
    • Better drought resistance
    • Encouragement of new growth
    • Reduced lawn maintenance needs

When to Aerate Your Lawn

The timing for lawn aeration depends on the type of grass in your lawn. For cool-season grass, it's best to aerate in the spring and fall. 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 Often Should I Aerate?

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