When and why to aerate the Lawn.
​
When the roots are "starved" of moisture is when you need to do this aeration process. This is because of the compacted soils which has many solid particles. The soil space is not getting enough proper circulation of the water, the air, and all the nutrients the soil needs. Actually, perforation, or putting small holes throughout the yard, will help with the water access throughout the area. Especially the grass roots which help the roots grow deeper. Thus, it will produce stronger more vigorous lawns.

This is normally during the fall or spring. For those that live in the warmer regions, aerating the lawn is normally done in the late springtime. It is also best to do this during the peak growing season because grass normally gets filled up as it heals. This means that the soil plugs are basically removed. The best time for aeration is during the growing season, when the grass can heal and fill in any open areas after soil plugs are removed. Ideally, aerating the lawn during the cool season helps the grass in the early spring or fall. Those with warm season grass are better off aerating in the late spring.

Other times when its needed

Another time when to aerate the lawn is when you notice your lawn is heavily walked on, or you have heavy traffic. In fact, if you have children that play on the lawn continuously, or the neighborhood animals normally play on it, then aerating would be wise. Because of pets, children, heavy traffic, your lawn can make the grass get compacted, the soil does "need to breathe." Additionally, establishing some topsoil on a new lawn is normally what happens for those lawns which are stripped. Establishing the "subsoil" is popular for this type of compacted grass. It tends to look, feel and become dry or when it feels spongy-like. In other words, the way to test your lawn is to remove a piece of it with a shovel. You have to go at least four inches down to the ground, or deep within the ground; this is recommended by professional landscapers.
How do you know it needs aeration?

You know that grass needs aeration because when the soil is layered, it is the top soil that gets dry first. It should be textured finely down the next. In fact, some grass has imported sod and the layered soil normally ends up coarse if ignored. Yet, with this in mind, water can be held longer within the soil because it can become fine textured. Therefore, when compacted grass needs watering, it is the poor root growth which disrupts the flow of the water within and the surrounding areas of the grass. Thus, you will know it needs aeration because of all this. The grass becomes dry in certain or all areas.

What are the benefits of lawn aeration?

The benefits of lawn aeration is the process breaking up the entire soil bed of your lawn. This allows water to go through the entire yard. It naturally will go throughout the other areas of the lawn such as the roots of trees and plants, but mainly, it feeds it in it's entirety. This is the main benefit and the main reason for it.
Home owners or lawn maintenance workers aerate lawns because it helps with the beautification of the yard or gardens; especially the ground levels. Because of the soil, and depending where you live, the ground may get more dry or more moist. One or the other can be bad for the lawn because there is not a balance. However, if you balance it out by working on it regularly, until you can simply do it twice a year, then it will look healthy.

How and when do you aerate a lawn?

Before the lawn is aerated, make sure it's moist before you begin aerating. Yet, don't do this when it's absolutely dry. After it rains or before it rains is best. There are aeration machines which can do this for you and you should do it at least twice a year. With a small percentage of your lawn needing the aeration. It's important to get it done by a professional at first, then you'll learn how to do it yourself, ultimately. After aerating, it's important to continue basic lawn care practices such as proper fertilizing, mowing and watering. When you excavate your lawn because of the soil being "bone dry." Therefore, it is important to allow soil plugs to be put in throughout. This way you break up the soil uniformly. Expert lawn care specialists use powering lawn mowers and garden tractors.
​

Finally, once you have learned the reasons why to aerate your lawn, how often and when, you will be an expert as well. You will notice the subtle difference as you begin the aeration process. Therefore, taking your time at first by allowing a professional to do it is wise. In the long run, your environment will feel, smell, and look great because of a healthy looking yard.

​
What is Lawn Aeration? It is the question that most homeowners ask themselves.Lawn aeration is the process of poking holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to be absorbed quickly and efficiently. The key is to reduce compaction of the soil. Below are several reasons why this is a significant activity.

Below are lawn aeration benefits that we have compiled for you.• Grassroots can access nutrients and grow stronger.• Reduces stress and heat and creates thatch breakdown.• Help reduce water run-off.Proper aeration breaks down insect infestation.• Can enable me to do a top dressing that preserves moisture in the turf.• Applying sulfur or lime can benefit soil PH levels. Nutrients shall be able to penetrate deep into the root area.• Benefits lawn overseeding operations. (Lawn overseeding is the process of adding seeds to the lawn to improve quality and appearance). It creates seed to soil contacts and creates a good environment for seed growth.• It prepares the grass for winter and spring season. We recommend aerating the lawn before winter and during the summer.Below are several lawn aeration tips as advised by our experts at Orem Lawn Care Company.• Insist on two passes.• Don’t throw away the plugs as it helps thatch breakdown.• I fertilize and seed lawns before aerating.• Remember to water your lawns after aeration.

There are two primary aerating tools- a plug and spike aerator. Spike aerator pokes holes in the soil while plug aerators remove part of the ground. Though not recommendable there are lawn aeration shoes with 1.5-inches spikes that are worn and used to poke holes. Our reasoning is the 1.5-inch spike is too small to have the desired impact. We recommend a plug aerator over a spike aerator because it de-compacts the soil around the holes. We realized that buying these tools will increase the lawn aeration cost but our team of experts has an ingenious solution to this problem. At Orem Lawn Care Company we reduce the client’s expense by extending a lawn aeration rental option. What is this option you ask? Since lawn aeration is not an everyday activity, you can approach us and rent the tools at an agreed fee which you can even share with your neighbor. If you notice water flowing in your lawn instead of being absorbed, then you need to do lawn dethatching. This is the process of removing a thin layer of debris that forms in between the root and a leaf blade of the turfgrass. Most people assume the presence of thatch in the lawn is a compost material but suffocates lawns.

In conclusion, lawn aeration and dethatching has changed the lawns of our client’s houses. We are a reputable company and feel free to contact us. As per the above article, it’s possible to maintain a lawn with a minimal budget and make it aesthetically beautiful.
