\"\"Core aeration is one of those\u00a0lawn care practices\u00a0<\/a>that are hidden in plain sight. It probably sounds familiar to you (or maybe not), but you\u2019ve surely seen core aeration before.<\/p>\n

Have you ever been to an outdoor football\/soccer field, golf course,or baseball field. Remember all those little pellets of dirt scattered all over? Core aeration. Turns out that, they served a substantial purpose in keeping a great lawn.<\/p>\n

Why Is Core Aeration Necessary?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Over time, soil becomes compacted. This makes it difficult for water, air, and nutrients to penetrate the soil. The purpose of core aeration, then, is to relieve this compaction in your lawn. Core Aeration is basically the process of\u00a0pulling up\u00a0little dirt plugs out of your lawn to relieve this pressure. Core aeration\u00a0improves fertilizer uptake reduces water runoff, strengthens roots, reduces compaction, enhances heat and drought tolerance, and improves resiliency.<\/p>\n

When Should I Core Aerate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It depends on the type of grass you have. For cool-season grasses, the best time of the year to aerate is\u00a0Fall. For warm-season grasses? Shoot for late Spring\/early fall. Realistically, your lawn should be aerated once per year, twice a year for best results, especially if your lawn has lots of foot traffic via kids, pets, or\u00a0tailgating parties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Core Aeration Quick Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/h2>\n

-Though some homeowners try to do it with spikes,\u00a0aeration<\/a>\u00a0is typically done with an aerator (makes sense).using spikes doesn\u2019t really work because the process doesn\u2019t pull the plugs out. It just makes holes in the soil, which doesn\u2019t relieve pressure in your lawn.
\n-New houses often need aeration. We\u2019ve seen some crazy examples. Often, because builders often just throw down sod without prepping the soil, you\u2019re left with a lawn that\u2019s been trampled by heavy machinery, and thus, very compacted.
\n-If your lawn is compacted, nothing will grow
\n-The perfect time to\u00a0sod\/ plug or overseed \u00a0is after you aerate. The two go hand in hand.
\n-Control weeds before you aerate, because aeration can spread weed seeds.
\n-Lawn Doctor\u2019s agronomist advise that you don\u2019t aerate during heat or drought. Aerate when the soil is wet, but not over-saturated.<\/p>\n

Should I Hire a Lawn Care Company for Core Aeration?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In this case, unless you\u2019re set on sweating it out on your own, it\u2019s easiest to hire a\u00a0lawn care company near you<\/a>\u00a0to do this. If you want to do it yourself, you can rent core aerators from most garden centers for about $75 to $150. Then, you have to worry about timing and lawn conditions, measuring soil moisture, temperature, and more. It\u2019s best to let the lawn care professionals take care of aeration while you sit back and enjoy your beautiful lawn.
