Aeration

All lawns will become compacted over time. This compaction will reduce water penetration and restrict healthy grass growth. Aeration should be carried out in spring or early summer.

To eliminate compaction, the soil will need to be either spiked with a solid tyne aeration machine or cored with a hollow tyne device. These machines are available from good hire companies. Following aeration, the turf should be topdressed and fertilised.
