Core Aeration basically consists of decompacting the soil. This makes it easier for water, oxygen, and nutrients to penetrate the soil and feed the lawn.Top Tips
- The following signs mean that your lawn needs to be well aerated: rainfall or sprinkler water stays on the surface for a long time, the lawn looks sparse even with all the good care it receives, and there are always weeds despite regular weeding.
- The plugs of soil removed during the core aeration processs hould be left on the lawn. After a few days, they will disappear completely.
- Once again, the benefits of core aeration are decompacted soil, deeper roots, soil oxygenation, and improved water infiltration.

About liming
- Applying lime to your lawn reduces soil acidity and helps restore the soil’s nutrient balance. It’s an easy way to grow a healthier lawn.
- A pH (acid level of your soil) of 6.5 to 7 is standard for lawns.
- Never apply lime without a soil analysis. Also, remember that a soil analysis from last year or the year before is of no use.
- Contrary to popular belief, having moss and/or fungi is not necessarily a sign of acidity.
- When you correct the pH level of your soil by applying lime, you ensure fertilizers are more readily absorbed and promote the development of beneficial microorganisms that improve the thickness and colour of your lawn.
