Why Aeration Is the Secret to a Thicker, Greener Lawn
Most homeowners mow, water, and fertilize—but still struggle with thin, patchy lawns. The missing step is often aeration. At CityCuts Lawn Care, we recommend aerating once a year to boost lawn growth from the roots up.
What Is Aeration?
Aeration creates small holes in the soil, allowing:
- Air
- Water
- Nutrients
to reach deep into the roots for healthier growth.
Why Aeration Matters
Soil becomes compacted from foot traffic, pets, and equipment. Compacted soil blocks root growth—leading to weeds and bare spots.
Aeration loosens the soil and helps roots grow stronger.
Key Benefits
- Thicker, fuller grass
- Fewer weeds like clover and dandelions
- Better water absorption
- Stronger roots
- Faster recovery after dry seasons
Best Time to Aerate
The ideal seasons:
- Spring – encourages growth
- Early Fall – prepares lawn for recovery
