Lawn Aeration

What is Lawn Aeration?

Lawn aeration alleviates soil compaction by perforating the surface with small holes, improving the penetration of air, water, and nutrients to the root zone.

Scientific Context

Compacted soil restricts root growth and microbial activity, impairing lawn health. Aeration restores soil porosity facilitating gas exchange and metabolic processes critical to turf sustainability.

Tools & Equipment Used

Lawn aeration improves soil health by relieving compaction and allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach grassroots more effectively. Depending on your lawn’s condition, core aerators remove plugs of soil for deep aeration, spike aerators create holes without soil removal for lighter soils, and liquid aerators use chemical solutions to enhance soil permeability. Choosing the right method helps promote stronger, healthier turf growth.

How Often Should You Aerate Your Lawn?

Recommended Frequency

For most lawns, aerating once or twice a year is sufficient to relieve soil compaction and promote healthy root growth. However, lawns with heavy foot traffic or those with dense clay soils may require more frequent aeration to maintain optimal soil conditions and turf health. Regular aeration helps ensure your lawn stays strong, green, and resilient throughout the year.

Once to twice yearly for average lawns
More frequently for high-use surfaces or clay soils.

Benefits of Aeration

Aeration is a key lawn care practice that revitalises your turf by improving soil structure and allowing essential air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeply. This process strengthens root systems, supports beneficial microbial activity, and helps reduce thatch buildup, resulting in a healthier, more resilient lawn that can better withstand drought and heavy use.

Encourages deeper, healthier roots
Enhances water retention and nutrient absorption
Promotes microbial life for organic matter breakdown
Reduces thatch and patchy lawn areas
Supports easier mowing and lawn care
Increases resilience to drought and traffic stress.
