Aeration & Equipment

Lawn aeration is a crucial practice for maintaining a healthy lawn. Aerating is the procedure of getting air into the lawn soil. De-compaction relieves the pressure between soil particles, making them 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.

In this blog, we will discuss using hollow tine aeration, spiking, and slitting to improve compacted lawns, footpaths, and play areas.

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