Aerating of Garden Beds and Lawn Areas

Aeration helps to improve the health and integrity of your lawn and garden beds by allowing water and fertiliser to enter the soil, improving oxygen circulation, and preventing weeds from establishing in the compacted ground. Moreover, and on that latter point, compacted soils have too many solid particles in a certain volume or space, which prevents proper circulation of air, water and nutrients within the soil. Excess lawn thatch or heavy organic debris buried under the grass surface can also starve the roots from these essential elements.

It is recommended that aerating be done throughout the growing season. That way, your lawn and gardens have an opportunity to heal and fill in any open areas that are left behind during the aeration process.
