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.

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.

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

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.

How to make the most out of hollow tine aeration, spiking and slitting to improve compacted lawns, foot paths and play areas.
