WHAT IS AERATION?

Aeration is the act of perforating the soil with small holes to allow elements like water, air and nutrients to nourish the grass roots and relieve compact soil. Consistent core aeration of all types of turf grass will result in a healthy and fantastic looking lawn which grows easily.

Benefits of Aerating Your Lawn

Aerating your lawn offers a multitude of benefits, crucial for its health and appearance. Key advantages include improved air circulation to the roots, better water absorption, enhanced nutrient uptake, reduction in soil compaction, and the promotion of a stronger, deeper root system. These benefits collectively contribute to a more robust, resilient, and aesthetically pleasing lawn.

What Does Fairway Green Recommend for My Lawn?

We recommend regular, at least annual, core aeration to help improve your soil compaction and in effect, your soil health. It’s best to core aerate a fescue lawn at seeding time. For other turf types, like Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede and St. Augustine, core aeration is best performed in the summer while these grasses are still actively growing. We don’t recommend core aerating your warm season turf lawn while it is in transition or dormant.
