To keep your lawn healthy and looking its best all year round, aerating should become part of your basic lawn care practice. Aerating your lawn helps it to breathe, reducing thatch and moss build-up and breaking up compacted soil that inevitably occurs due to heavy foot traffic.

Aeration is recommended if your lawn dries out easily and has a spongy feel, as excessive thatch and soil compaction prevent air, water, and nutrients from reaching the soil beneath the grass and circulating within the soil.

Although it is possible for you to aerate your lawn using a spike aerator, a tool such as a fork that pokes holes in the lawn, using a machine to aerate your lawn will be much more effective.

Blowers Lawn Care can perform core aeration using a lawn aerator machine that perforates the lawn with small holes, by removing plugs of grass to allow water, air and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots, encouraging stronger, deeper roots – making your lawn healthier and greener.
