You know how going to the doctor is a must, well think of fertilizing and aerating your lawn just as well. Daily watering and sunshine is just the start of taking proper care of your lawn. Next in line is seeking help from professionals at least twice a year (same as going to the doctor) The latter is to ensure your lawn stays in tip-top shape as fertilizing and aerating is considered as ‘’deep cleaning’’, always bringing best results.
The so-called aeration is a lawn treatment that pulls out ‘’cores’’ or small plugs of grass and topsoil to create a small hole. Thanks to this hole, your lawn will absorb more nutrients and water, not to mention that the roots will have more oxygen and room to grow.
When is the best time to fertilize and aerate my lawn?
Although good, aeration could possibly stress lawns if timing is wrong.Usually, early fall or early spring are the best times for aerating for chill-season grasses common in northern lawns.For sunny, warm-season grasses common to the southern regions, the proper time is late spring or very early summer.
As soon as your grass reaches its peak time for natural growth, this is the best time to aerate. It is compulsory never to aerate dormant lawns. Grasses fill in areas where aerator equipment exposes soil and recover quickly when aeration coincides with active growth.
Important Tip: The easiest way to aerate your soil is when it is moist from irrigation or rainfall the day before. Excessively dry or hardened soil can be tough to aerate so moisture eases the process.
