Aeration & Equipment

Apart from a hard lawn surface your grass may have  thatch, dry quickly, grow unevenly or in patches or have other symptoms of compaction and poor aeration

Aerating is the procedure of getting air into the lawn soil. De-compaction is relieving the pressure between soil particles so they are less dense

Whether you use a hand tool, garden fork, aerator shoes or a machine there are simple ways to aerate your grass regardless of how large your lawn is

De-compacting equipment removes a plug or core of soil from the lawn thus improving aeration and drainage and reducing compaction

You need to use different aeration equipment on your lawn throughout the year. Hollow tining is best in autumn whilst spiking is best in the spring and summer
