Aerating: Help Your Lawn Be Greener This Spring

With spring coming, many people are beginning to contemplate spending more time outdoors. That's why you could want to have the greenest yard you've ever seen. To achieve it, there are numerous things to take care of so that your yard is ready to face the spring and summer months. One of them is to aerate your lawn. Aerating your lawn can be beneficial for a variety of reasons, not just maintaining the landscaping of your property.

What is Lawn Aeration?

Basically, aerating your lawn is creating the conditions for air as well as water and nutrients to be absorbed into your soil through the placement of holes in the soil. The soil that you use is pushed down and compacted due to frequent foot traffic. This can make it difficult for the lawn's air to circulate.

How to Aerate Your Lawn?

In order to aerate your lawn, you must poke holes in your lawn to create a space for the lawn to breathe and receive the nutrients it requires. It is possible to do this effectively using an aerator for your lawn. Since you will not do this frequently, it's best to rent the equipment instead of buying it.

What Are the Benefits of Aerating Your Lawn?

A lush lawn: The holes in your soil will cause the soil to receive more nutrients and thus make it healthier and greener.

A stronger lawn with more grass: Aerating your lawn will cause the grass's roots to develop deeper and spread further. This enhanced root structure leads to a higher tolerance to drought and an increase in the grass's density. The increased grass density does not just make your lawn appear denser and more carpet-like, but it will also be beneficial in naturally eliminating grass weeds.

Less puddling: If the yard receives a lot of rainwater or runoff, there could be puddles. But, if you aerate, it will decrease the amount of puddles that are in your yard, and the lawn will have the ability to absorb more water.

Frequency of aerating your lawn

Do not aerate your lawn too often! Remember that every year once is enough.
