Why is lawn aeration so important for a greener lawn?

Lawn aeration is very important for developing a healthy,greener lawn but unfortunately,most people overlook the importance of aerating a lawn regularly.There is no need to aerate a lawn every now and then but when the soil compaction starts to take a toll on the development of the lawn,it is a must to have it aerated.Remember that frequency of lawn aeration also depends on the soil type.So i may not be able to give a exact frequency at which your lawn needs to be aerated each year.A lawn aeration company would be able to help you with it.

What does lawn aeration do actually?

As the soil compaction happens due to us walking or the pets frequenting it,the nutrients along with oxygen and water will not be able to circulate around the soil thus not reaching the roots.This is a clear sign that your lawn is dying or is at least not flourishing to its maximal point.In such cases,once the soil compaction is detected in a major area of the lawn or in just patchy areas of the lawn,you need to start the lawn aeration process.This can also be done with simple tools if the area affected by soil compaction is only a smaller one.but if the area concerned is bigger,then the automation tools are needed to effectively correct the problem and allow the growth of grass.

Different types of lawn aeration like the Hollow Tining and the Spiking methods are available.These will be more than enough to bring back the healthy lawn at your home.
