Lawn aeration breaks down compact soil and thick thatch to improve lawn health. This process allows more oxygen, water and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. Annual lawn aeration will help create a stronger, healthier and more vibrant lawn.
Maggio recommends liquid lawn aeration – which uses a unique formula which allows for deeper, longer lasting results than core-aeration.
Lawn compaction and thick thatch prevent your lawn from absorbing the water, oxygen and nutrients it needs to thrive. Without aeration, your efforts to water, fertilize and care for your lawn may be going to waste due to lack of proper absorption.
Annual lawn aeration plays a vital role in any good lawn care program.
In Ontario, the best time to aerate your lawn is in the fall. Lawns that are warm all season long benefit from spring aeration.
For a healthy, green and vibrant lawn Maggio recommends lawn aeration once a year in the fall. Annual aeration will improve lawn health and appearance and boost results of your lawn care program.
Aeration and overseeding go hand and hand. The fall is the best time to grow grass and to aerate, so adding an overseed treatment to your aeration is a no-brainer. Not only will your lawn thrive due to increased uptake of water, oxygen and nutrients – but overseeding will promote new grass growth and fill in thin areas for a thicker, more beautiful lawn lawn.
Thatch is the layer immediately below the green of your grass made up of the roots, stems and other organic matter. It can get too thick for number of reasons including poor aeration, too much water and too much nitrogen.
Too much thatch will act like a barrier between your grass and the soil blocking it from absorbing nutrients, oxygen, water and sunlight.
It could be clay soil if:
Try a squeeze test: wet a bit of soil and squeeze it. Does it keep its shape if you poke it? If yes, it’s likely clay soil.
We recommend allowing the product to dry before using the lawn.
You’ll need to water your lawn for 20 minutes per area, 3x per week.
Liquid aeration can be applied in the spring or fall. Deep penetration of oxygen and nutrients will promote a healthy root system which allows your grass to withstand stressful conditions.
