Signs Your Lawn Needs Core Aeration


Don’t wait until your lawn is struggling before aerating your grass. Heavy clay soils should generally be aerated twice a year, with annual core lawn aeration for sandy soil. You’ll notice the following signs when your lawn needs aeration:

  • Visible thatch build-up
  • Heavy clay soils
  • Puddle formation on your lawn
  • Thinning grass
  • Yellow or brown patches
  • Water runs off the grass rather than being absorbed
  • Grass grows slowly or poorly

If inserting the blade of a screwdriver into your lawn is difficult, it is a clear sign the lawn needs core aeration.

    Lawn Pride is extremely attentive to each lawn’s needs. They’re extremely thorough and I’ve recommended them to several friends. My lawn looks like a commercial, and they’ve nurtured new seed and sod into a healthy yard, while stressing the maintenance. Highly recommended.

    They always let me know what they were doing with each application and what I should and shouldn’t do for the next week (e.g. don’t mow the lawn for 2 days, etc.) Any time I have called with a question, I received an immediate response.

  • Core lawn aeration is a process that removes many small plugs throughout your lawn, at about 20-40 per square foot. The plugs are two to three inches long and roughly a half-inch across, consisting of soil, grassroots, and thatch. The primary purpose of lawn aeration is to alleviate compacted soil. When the soil is compacted, it is more difficult for the roots to grow through it. The soil struggles to absorb and retain the water, oxygen, and nutrients your lawn depends on. In addition to loosening up the soil, aeration improves the flow of oxygen, water, and nutrients to the roots and soil microbes essential to your lawn’s health.
