Lawn aeration is a common lawn care technique that creates small openings in your turf and penetrates the root and thatch layer, allowing essential air and water to make their way down to the grassroots. This task is usually carried out by lawn care professionals using a motorised machine or specialist hand tools; however, using the right tools at the right time of the year, you can aerate your own lawn to make sure it receives the nutrients it needs to survive and prosper.
If you are thinking about whether you should aerate your lawn and when the best time to do it is, you've come to the right place! Read on to learn more about lawn aeration.
