Aerate your lawn to help it grow again. Aerate your lawn once per growing season, usually in the fall or early spring, and again in late spring or early summer. Aerate your lawn by digging a shallow trench in your lawn with a shovel or fork and then letting the soil fall back in. This process mixes up the soil, improving its aeration and making it easier for roots to grow. Aerate your lawn by shoveling or forking the soil in your lawn to break it up and allow air and water to penetrate the soil. Aerate your lawn by using a motorized core aeration machine. This machine is designed to quickly aerate large areas of soil, allowing it to penetrate deeply enough to reach roots. If your lawn is large enough, you can aerate it in one long section at a time instead of digging a trench for each section. Aerate your lawn before adding organic matter like compost or a landscape fabric, or as soon as possible after an application of synthetic fertilizer. Aerate your lawn before planting new turf or sod, or after removing sod from an existing area. Aerate your lawn before or after watering, but avoid aeration immediately after heavy rain or snowfall, as it could wash away nutrients and organic matter from your soil. Aerate your lawn before or after each mowing, depending on your climate and the type of grass you have. If you have a warm-season grass like Bermudagrass, aerate your lawn once every two or three weeks during the growing season. If you have a cool-season grass like bluegrass, aerate your lawn once every two to three months. Remember: If your lawn is too wet, you can’t aerate it properly.
Aerating your lawn improves aeration, making the soil more porous and allowing air and water to penetrate the soil more easily. Aerated soil is also more likely to hold water and nutrients, which means they'll stay put and be available to plants. Aeration also makes the soil more suitable for planting new grass or other plants. If your soil is compacted or otherwise difficult for roots to penetrate, aeration can help loosen it up and make it more suitable for planting.
