Aeration
Why Aerate Your Lawn?
Lawn aeration is a crucial process that improves soil structure and promotes healthier grass growth. Over time, soil becomes compacted due to foot traffic, heavy rainfall, and general use. This compaction restricts the movement of air, water, and nutrients, preventing them from reaching the grass roots. As a result, your lawn may struggle to grow thick, lush, and green.
Aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to relieve compaction and create pathways for essential elements to penetrate deep into the root zone. This process enhances root development, increases drought resistance, and improves overall lawn resilience. Additionally, aeration helps break down thatch more efficiently by introducing beneficial microorganisms that accelerate decomposition.
How Often Should You Aerate?
SHM Garden Services recommends aerating your lawn at least once a year, ideally in the spring or autumn when grass growth is at its peak. Lawns that experience heavy use or have clay-based soil may benefit from more frequent aeration to maintain optimal health. Pairing aeration with regular scarification ensures a well-balanced lawn care routine, keeping your grass strong, vibrant, and free from common lawn problems.
