If your lawn could talk, it would be begging for some fresh air right about now. Lawn aeration is like a deep breath for your grass, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper. At Nature’s Select®, we believe that healthy lawns start from the ground up, and this season, lawn aeration is the MVP.
So, what exactly is lawn aeration? In simple terms, it’s the process of removing small plugs of soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach your lawn’s roots. Over time, heavy foot traffic, mowing, and general use can compact your soil. This compaction blocks essential nutrients from penetrating deep into the ground, leaving your grass looking lackluster and thin. Aeration opens things up and sets the stage for thicker, healthier turf.
Ideally, fall and early spring are the best times to aerate. In the fall, temperatures start to cool and rainfall increases, allowing your grass to naturally recover from summer stress. In the spring, your lawn needs an extra boost after winter. Aerating now gives your lawn a head start going into the next growing season. Plus, pairing aeration with overseeding can help fill in bald spots and promote lush, dense growth before winter.
At Nature’s Select®, we don’t just punch holes and call it a day. Our biologically based approach focuses on long-term lawn health. We consider soil structure, grass type, and the unique conditions of your property before we begin.
