If your lawn could talk, it would probably thank you for giving it a chance to breathe. Aerating is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve the health of your lawn by relieving soil compaction and allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots.
Aeration is particularly beneficial in areas that experience heavy foot traffic, where water tends to pool after rain, or along the well worn paths created by your favour four-legged friend. By reducing soil compaction, your lawn has the opportunity to recover, strenthen its root system, and grow into a lush, healthy green canopy.
Aerate with a Garden Fork
A garden fork is an affordable and effective option for smaller lawns or areas. Simply drive the fork into the soil, gently rock it back and forth to create small openings, and repeat the process across the lawn. This helps loosen compacted soil and improves airflow to the roots.
Use Lawn Aeration Sandals
Lawn aeration sandals are fitted with spikes that create small holes in the soil as you walk. Not only do they help aerate your lawn, but they also provide a great leg workout at the same time!
Hire a Lawn Aerator
For larger lawns or the best overall results, hiring a lawn aerator is a great option. It saves time, provides consistent coverage across the entire lawn, and delivers deeper, more effective aeration than manual methods.
Once you have completed aerating your lawn, we recommend applying a quality granular or liquid fertiliser. This encourages stronger root growth, improves lawn health and helps your grass recover more quickly.
We recommend aerating your lawn during spring, when your grass is actively growing and can recover quickly. While aeration can be carried out at other times of the year, it's important to take extra care to avoid damaging the existing grass, particularly during periods of slow growth or extreme weather.
A little time spent aerating can make a significant difference to the long term health of your lawn, helping it stay greener, stronger, and more resilient throughout the year.
