Aeration can relieve your yard’s stress placed on it due to high traffic from children and pets and can help in rejuvenating your yard. The process involves soil of the yard being perforated with small holes to alleviate compacted soil and removing thatch thus allowing water, air and nutrients to reach the lawn’s root system more efficiently. Common aeration tools include spike aerator and plug/core aerator. Lawn watering is as important to maintain the health and beauty of your yard.

Homeowners who’ve never aerated their yards may face trouble determining whether the yard needs to be aerated. Aeration is a vital part of lawn care. Hard clay or soil that has been under constant activity doesn’t leave a lot of room for water, air or crucial nutrients to reach the roots of the grass. Your yard can suffer a variety of issues like uneven growth, discoloration and higher risk of damage due to disease if your grass doesn’t receive the essential elements and nutrients. Aeration allows the yard to receive the water, air and nutrients which are required for a strong root system by alleviating soil compaction and thatch. A strong root system makes a yard less susceptible to disease and your yard will be healthy enough to survive any harsh element.
Tips and Tricks to Lawn Watering:
Water Early in the Morning- Lawn care experts recommend early morning watering, it is the coolest part of the day to water. Start watering once light is out. Even if the humidity is high throughout the day, that doesn’t push more water to the roots. Watering in the evening makes a yard susceptible to turf diseases which flourishes under evening’s cool and wet conditions.
Don’t Water Everyday- Homeowners tend to drag their sprinklers to a different location every morning or night and turn the water on for 15 minutes at a time. Although it may seem right but watering every day won’t help because a bit of water every day does nothing for the roots of your grass plants. The function of roots is to take up water and nutrients into the grass and shallow roots don’t reach far enough into the ground to get everything they need from the soil and are not even strong enough to tolerate a high temperature like during summers.
The best lawn watering practice is to water a few times a week for at least half an hour. Your grass should get 1-1 1/2 inches of water per week which keeps grass green and healthy.
It is very important that you water heavily a few times a week and, in the morning, whether you have an in-ground irrigation system, sprinklers or a hose that you use.
