The health and look of your lawn can be dramatically improved by ensuring it is adequately aerated. Why aerate? soil can over time become compacted which is not good news for the grass. The grass roots are not able to penetrate as deeply into the soil if the soil is compacted. In addition, the level of air flow and oxygen in the soil is reduced when compacted and this is essential for plant growth . On top of this the level of nutrient uptake is less if the soil is compacted and it can also effect the amount of water which can infiltrate the soil. Aerating the soil means that your lawn gets a good level of air flow, water and nutrients - all essential for a healthy lawn and in addition the ability of the roots to penetrate deep into the soil is improved. Aerating your lawn can also avoid the problem of thatch, a layer of organic matter which settles at ground level. Thatch can create an environment where pests and disease thrive, which is not healthy for grass roots. For these reasons aerating your lawn is very important.
