Do You Need Lawn Aeration?

Your lawn may be asking for help. Here are common signs that aeration could transform your yard:

Give Your Lawn a Breath of Fresh Air

Lawn aeration is the process of perforating the soil to improve the flow of air, water, and nutrients to the grassroots. By addressing compacted soil, aeration encourages deep root growth, reduces thatch buildup, and strengthens your grass against stressors like drought and heavy foot traffic.

There are two primary methods of aeration, both of which provide distinct benefits. Core and Liquid.

Core Aeration

This traditional method removes small plugs of soil, alleviating compaction and promoting improved drainage and root health. Core aeration, also known as mechanical aeration, involves using a specialized machine to remove small plugs of soil, alleviating compaction and enriching the soil as the plugs decompose. This traditional method is particularly effective for lawns that face heavy foot traffic, mature trees, or new construction compaction.

Liquid Aeration

A modern, organic approach that uses bioactive solutions to penetrate deeper into the soil (up to 12 inches), encouraging nutrient absorption and long-term soil health.

Benefits of Liquid Aeration

Frequently Asked Questions About Lawn Aeration

What is the difference between liquid aeration and core aeration?

Liquid aeration uses organic solutions to loosen the soil up to 12 inches deep, while core aeration removes small plugs of soil to reduce compaction. Both methods are effective, but they work even better when combined.

When should I aerate my lawn?

The best times for aeration in Southern Louisiana are during the growing seasons—spring and fall—when grass can quickly recover and grow.

Can aeration help with weeds?

Yes. By improving soil health and encouraging thicker grass growth, aeration makes it harder for weeds to establish themselves.

How often should I aerate my lawn?

For most lawns, annual or biannual aeration is recommended. Heavily compacted lawns or those in high-traffic areas may benefit from more frequent aeration.
