KEND ELL’S TR AC TO R FO R HIR E 745-6913 BO X SC R AP ER , LO AD ER , MO WER TILLER , P LO W A FEW FACTS ABOUT LAWN AERATION Mechanical lawn aeration is the removal of small cores of soil from the lawn. This allows more soil to air surface area so your lawn can grow healthier. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 The benifits from lawn aeration are: Enhanced soil water uptake Reduced water runoff and puddling Improved root growth Reduced soil compaction Improved air exchange between soil and atmosphere Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance Improved thatch breakdown Improves fertilizer and pesticide effectiveness Annual aeration is beneficial for most lawns. Lawns growing on heavy clay, highly compacted soils or lawns exposed to high traffic will benefit from more than one aeration per season. The Ideal Time to Aerate is in the early spring (March-May) and in late summer and early fall (August-November). It’s best to aerate before you apply fertilizers and herbicides to help your lawn compete against weed growth. You should water your lawn after aeration particularly in higher temperature areas. After aerating your lawn it will be dotted with small plugs pulled from the soil, within a week or two they will break apart and disappear into the lawn. Approximately two weeks after aeration, the aerification holes will be filled with actively growing roots, white in color. These roots are a good sign that your lawn is responding to the additional oxygen and moisture in the soil from the aeration process. After aeration your lawn should be able to go longer between waterings. Lawns that receive annual aeration will be healthier, easier to maintain and have fewer pest problems.
