How does lawn aeration improve soil health?

One of the best solutions to compacted soil is lawn aeration. Our landscape experts recommend using core aeration as a preventative maintenance practice to control thatch. Routine core aeration can reduce soil compaction. It also improves air movement into soils, increasing microbial activity and helping break down thatch. Removing thatch from lawns is critical because it can make it difficult for water and nutrients to reach plant roots. It's an excellent time to overseed after lawn aeration, especially during the fall. Doing this can revive your lawn as seeds and fertilizer have a better chance of settling deeper into the aeration holes.

What is the best time to aerate a lawn?

The best time to aerate a lawn is spring and fall, depending on your grass type and the region you are located in. During these seasons, there is increased soil moisture, and the lawn can tolerate the aeration process better.

How frequently should lawn aeration be done?

Your lawn can benefit from one to two aeration visits per year. The visits depend on the location of the type of grass and the region you're in. Lawns that are thin, growing on compacted soils, or have heavy thatch will benefit from two visits per season.

The crew arrived ready to transform my space, and wow is it beautiful! The guys worked efficiently and carefully, planting the bushes and plants. I would highly recommend David and the crew.

The Grounds Guys do a phenomenal job. They did a major cleanup of my yard, installed new sod, laid stone, shells, and mulch, planted new Areca palms and flowers, rerouted some sprinklers, and created a flagstone path to the backyard, and all of it was down with meticulous care, attention to detail, and skill. The Guys are friendly, professional, and just a delight to deal with. They offered good suggestions for improving the yard and have communicated clearly throughout the process. I can’t recommend them enough.
