Most homeowners understand that they should be watering and fertilizing their lawns if they want them to continue looking and functioning well. Not as many understand lawn aeration or how important the service is to invest in. If you haven't had your lawn aerated before chances are good that you could benefit from the service. By aerating your lawn you can make it healthier and lower the amount of fertilizer you have to apply to it in order to keep it looking good over time. It's a simple procedure but it's something that most homeowners leave up to the pros because they already have the tools and equipment to do the job. 

Lawn aeration is simply adding small openings into your lawn that go from the top down to the roots. This procedure is done by removing small plugs from your lawn all around its surface. These plugs are spaced out carefully in order to give you proper aeration everywhere. A lawn aerator is a special tool that can efficiently aerate your property from one side to the other. 

Aeration is an important maintenance task that should be performed on lawns every few years. This is because over time lawns become very thick and overgrown. A layer of thick thatch develops on the surface of your lawn, and that thick surface acts as a barrier to water and nutrients both. Without lawn aeration services or aerating your lawn yourself you will have to invest in more fertilizers than necessary and your lawn will still struggle to get the nutrients it needs. As soon as your overgrown lawn is aerated you'll enjoy a lusher and healthier yard and the condition of your grass will only improve with time. 

If you are interested in aerating your lawn yourself you can get a variety of different tools designed to handle the task. Invest in a push aerator, a pull-behind unit or rent a standalone tool designed for the task. Aerating your lawn takes longer than mowing it, but you won't have to do it nearly as often as you mow. If you buy your own aerator you can make sure your lawn stays aerating every year. With that said, aerating your lawn is a lot of work and many people just don't want to deal with the task themselves.
