Why aerate your lawn?
services-img3-809
  


For a beautiful healthy lawn you need to get air, water and nutrients down
through the thatch and soil and into the
root zone.

Our Aerator machines make this possible.
 
Aerators punch holes through the turf and thatch and into the soil to reduce compaction and allow healthy circulation of air, water and nutirents.
 
When and how often should I aerate my lawn?
Most lawns will benefit from annual aeration, Heavily used lawns, or those growing on heavy clay or subsoil, may need aerating more frequently.
 
Aeration is best carried out when lawns are under less stress so Autumn (March - May) and Spring (August- November) months are ideal as the lawns are still actively growing to allow to fill in the open spaces where the aerator has punched holes or removed soil plugs. 
 

What are the long terms benefits?

  • Enhancing water absorption

  • Improving Fertiliser effectiveness

  • Reducing water runoff and puddling

  • Improving turf resilience

  • Enhancing heat and drought stress tolerance

  • Improving overall air exchange

Scarification/Dethatching
Scarification (Dethatching) should be a regular process on your lawn and is best carried out in the Autumn and Spring months.  It is the removal of surface thatch, a thick organic layer of material that wedges between your grass and the soil. If it gets too thick it can stop water and air from penetrating through to the soil, encouraging insect growth and festering lawn disease.

If your lawn shows considerable wear, is thick and spongy or browns off quickly when dry, your lawn may have a thatch problem and most likely needs scarifying. We often over sow with grass seed to promote a healthier lawn for the coming year. 
 
Follow our simple tips for a great lawn
Scarifying your lawn at least once each year will greatly improve the treatments we apply and promote a healthier lawn throughout the year.
Scarification will also help remove any moss present in your lawn .
