One of the essential lawn maintenance tasks that often gets overlooked is lawn aeration. Aeration keeps your lawn from becoming compacted, which can come along with some nasty side effects. Compacted soil can stunt your\u00a0grass\u2019 growth, constrict your root systems and cause your lawn\u2019s surface to collect water, making it more prone to mildew and lawn diseases. Lawn aeration prevents and reverses these effects by keeping your lawn\u2019s soil loose and permeable for improved health.

When Lawn Aeration is Needed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lawn aeration should be performed annually\u00a0for the best results, and since each lawn\u00a0in San Antonio is different,\u00a0the timing of the\u00a0annual treatment may be during the early spring for some lawns and\u00a0late spring for others. These times are just prior to the growing seasons for most grass varieties in the area. However, additional aeration may be required depending on your lawn\u2019s composition and the amount of activity it sees on a day-to-day basis. Here are a few of the main indicators that your lawn needs aeration:<\/p>\n
