Spring aerating is one of the most effective ways to improve the health and resilience of your lawn. Over time, soil becomes compacted by foot traffic, pets, and weather, making it harder for water, air, and nutrients to reach the root zone. Core aeration removes small plugs of soil from the turf, relieving compaction and creating channels that allow fertilizer and moisture to penetrate more deeply.
This process helps roots grow thicker and stronger, which leads to a lawn that better resists drought, disease, and high traffic during the warmer months. Spring is an ideal time to aerate because grass is beginning active growth and can quickly recover from the procedure. When combined with proper mowing, watering, and fertilizing, aeration supports a dense, lush lawn that looks greener and feels softer underfoot.
Reed’s Maintenance schedules aeration to align with local weather patterns and lawn conditions, not just the calendar. That means your yard is serviced when the soil is ready and temperatures are favorable, maximizing the benefits of the treatment. If needed, overseeding and fertilizing can be paired with aeration for even more noticeable results in coverage and color.
