Aerating lawns is one of the most important things you can do for your lawn.
Aerating your lawn help in the following ways:
- Controls thatch build up
- Opens up pockets so fertilizer and water can get to roots
- Promotes growth
- Improves soil structure
De-thatching a lawn helps bring the lawn alive by removing old, dead debris, cutting old stolons and rhizomes. I would recommend doing this in the spring.
Some benefits to de-thatching are:
- Helps stimulate root growth
- Removes barrier so fertilizer and water can reach roots
- Helps protect your lawn against disease
