A beautiful lawn doesn’t just appear overnight. It needs constant maintenance, a solid watering schedule, and some room to breathe—yes, your lawn needs to breathe!
Aeration is vital to achieve and maintain a healthy lawn because it breaks up the compacted soil and allows for better circulation of air, water and nutrients.
Luckily, there are plenty of easy ways to aerate your lawn!
Plug aerators to aerate and remove soil
One of the most popular tools used for aeration is a plug aerator. So instead of just moving the soil aside, a plug aerator can actually take away some of the soil.
Throw on your aerator shoes!
Unlike the shoes you wear on a daily basis, aerator shoes have spikes emerging from the bottom. This allows you to get your aerating done while also getting in your steps!
Rolling aerators make it easy
As stated in the name, these popular tools are comprised of a wheel with spikes on it that you can pull along behind you, letting it easily make its way across your yard.
Or take matters into your own hands
A hand aerator, or spike aerator is an excellent choice to take on a smaller lawn. These tools feature strong spikes at the end that can effectively push into the soil and relieve some pressure for your roots to thrive.
Power up with a powered aerator
If aeration seems like too much of a task for you, make it that much simpler by investing in a powered aerator. This option is definitely a time- and energy-saver.
No matter which aeration tool you choose, your lawn will be grateful for it. But don’t stop there! There’s much more your lawn needs to stay healthy throughout all the seasons.
