Your lawn needs to breathe, so to speak. It needs space to draw down nutrients to ensure it remains healthy and vibrant.
Turf aeration helps prevent problems caused by compaction, such as fungal diseases, bare patches, and dryness caused by drainage issues.
What Are The Benefits Of Aerating Your Lawn?
If your turf has a thick layer of thatch, as well as tightly packed soil beneath, then you’re the perfect candidate for turf aeration.
Turf aeration has a range of benefits including:
- Clearing of thatch build-up
- Enabling your lawn to breathe & receive more oxygen
- Increasing the ability for your soil to retain water
- Reducing soil compaction
- Less water wasted through runoff & less puddling
- Increasing your soil’s ability to take in nutrients from fertiliser
- Strengthening turf root systems
- Improving drought resistance
- Improving overall health
Also known as core aeration or soil cultivation, turf aeration is the process of removing small holes of turf from your lawn, so more oxygen can be absorbed into the root system. These small holes of turf are removed using a specially designed lawn coring machine.
Aeration helps the roots grow deeper and produce a stronger more vigorous lawn. Keeping it lush and healthy year round.
When Is The Best Time To Have Your Turf Or Lawn Aerated?
Essentially, turf aeration is best when your lawn is most thriving. On the Gold Coast, Brisbane and surrounds, the most active growing season for your backyard is summer and spring. This would be the perfect time to have the Focal Point Landscape Maintenance team provide a turf aeration service.
How Is Turf Aeration Done?
This very short video below shows you how we do it. It’s a handheld video of the Focal point team doing some turf aeration so we apologize if it’s a little shaky.
You can see in this video, our machine runs over the lawn, pulling small cores from the turf. The holes that are left are what aerates the lawn.
When Can You Expect To See Results?
Assuming you’re caring for your garden adequately and the SE Qld weather helps you out a little bit, you can expect to see healthier turf in anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. The more you care for your garden, the quicker you will see results.
What Happens To The Small Holes From The Lawn Coring Machine?
What happens to the small holes is up to you! You’ve got two choices:
- If you don’t like the look of having holes in your backyard, you can fill them with sand. This will still allow water and oxygen to pass through easily.
- Leave the holes open for even greater benefits. This is will give water and oxygen free access to your turf’s root system without any blockages. Plus the roots will quickly spread and cover these holes anyway.
