Give your lawn a healthy start.

Let's face it last year was a tough year on our lawns. By regularly aerating your turf you will also allow water to enter it more easily. This plays great importance in the hotter seasons as when the weather is dry, the grassroots will require a bigger intake of water as a lot of it will evaporate or transpire through their leaves. If your grass is letting out more water than it’s intaking it will begin to turn brown and may even eventually die.

However, by thoroughly aerating an area where browning has occurred, you can restore to roots’ ability to intake moisture again. And if done right your grass’ color will return to its regular green in just around a week.

On the other hand, if the lawn is not aerated during the cold rainy seasons such as autumn and winter completely different problems can occur. For example, your soil might experience surface sealing because of the compacting effect of walking around and using garden maintenance machines that are on the heavier side.

This can prevent water from entering the soil, in turn remaining on the surface and also restrict gaseous exchange. In the long run, this can lead to moss and fibrous growth build up. If nothing is done to relieve the soil compaction, no water or air will be able to reach the grassroots, creating the ideal conditions for diseases to thrive.
