What is aerating and does my lawn need it?
We recommend aeration every two years. Aerating will help a thin lawn by opening up the soil so root development is easier. It also helps a thick lawn open up and breathe. In either case, it allows our products to get to the root system and work better. We prefer to aerate at the same time as your third application. Ideally it is done during the rainy season so watering to “prep” the lawn isn’t necessary. Also, when you open up a lawn, there is the potential for weed seeds to pop out that have been dormant for up to seven years. When we do your third application, we’re carrying high amounts of weed control which will minimize this, if not stop it from happening completely.
