Does aerating a lawn really make a noticeable difference in grass health?

Aerating a lawn can definitely make a noticeable difference in grass health. It helps by relieving soil compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots more easily. This encourages stronger root growth and can lead to a thicker, healthier lawn over time.

That said, the impact might be more obvious in lawns that have heavy foot traffic or compacted soil. For lawns that are already in good shape, aeration still helps but the changes might be less dramatic.

Overall, it’s a great maintenance step to keep a lawn looking its best, especially if done regularly.

Does it matter what time of year the aeration is done?
