There are many benefits of core aeration:
Core Aeration keeps your lawn greener, reducing the cost of watering by:
1) Improving drainage & reduce runoff
2) Reducing soil compaction
3) Controlling thatch development
4) Reducing drought damage
5) Allowing water, air, and nutrients direct access to the root system.

How to aerate lawn and how often do I use an Lawn Aerator?

Most experts recommend you should aerate lawns every 1-3 years. If you have hills, pets or active outdoor children, you may even need it twice a year. The best time to fertilize and overseed is just after aerating your lawn. For new lawns, turf aeration is very important. Most developers scrape off the topsoil when they build a new home and it can take years before that soil can be naturally healthy again. The best way to make it healthy quickly is with a lawn core aerator. Also, in many areas, new lawns tend to be installed on top of hard clay. A core lawn aerator can speed up the process of soil integration by encouraging roots and grass growth. If you have bad soil, you should do it at least once a year for the first five years that you own a home. It is very effective to also fertilize and over seed right after aerating. After a lawn is established, most experts still recommend that you aerate lawn once every three years.
