How to know if a Lawn needs Aerating:
Soil that’s compacted on a regular basis needs to be aerated on a regular basis. Compacted soil puts the squeeze on grass roots, inhibiting their ability to function – and robbing lush looks from your lawn. If your lawn is frequently driven on, grass probably already looks thin and less than ideal. The weight of a vehicle – even a mower – compacts soil, so it’s important to vary mowing patterns to slow soil compaction.
Aeration Checklist
Signs that you need to aerate include:
- water that puddles on lawn after rain
- vehicles driving or parking on lawn
- thatch layer thicker than one-half inch
- difficulty sticking a screwdriver or a pencil into soil
- heavy clay soil
- thin, patchy or bare grass
