Lawn Aeration

When, Why and How Often Do We Aerate a Lawn

Lawn Aeration Services

Like every living thing, grass needs air and water to grow and thrive. Simple lawn maintenance can make all the difference. During the summer months in particular, lawns suffer from continual use – be that children, sports, or BBQs – these all combine to cause surface compaction.

Lawn maintenance is crucial to prevent damage. This compaction impedes drainage, making it harder for air, water, and fertilizer to reach the roots. As such, lawn aeration during the Spring and Autumn helps allow the soil temperature to rise more quickly and the surface to literally ‘breathe’. Unlike other Lawn Treatment Companies, we can aerate your lawn whenever we feel it is suitable, rather than telling you it can’t be done until autumn.

Good lawn maintenance requires very simple aeration by driving a fork into the lawn at regular intervals. For a small lawn, this can be done simply by hand; however, there are many implements available for sale in garden centres that can do the job for you on larger areas.

I contacted Mike in the hope of using his services to improve my ailing lawn. I was sadly outside of Mike's coverage area as I live in South East London. Very generously however, Mike offered his advice when I described the issue with him

Fab knowledge advice, I contacted Mike completely at a loss as to what could be wrong with my lawn. He emailed me back with not only advice but also a link to where I can find more.
