Q: What is the cheapest way to aerate a lawn?

• <div><p>A manual spike aerator or aerator shoe is a very affordable way to aerate a lawn. Such devices can often be purchased for between $30 and $50. Liquid aerator is another affordable option, but this enzymatic spray may not work as well as actual, physical aeration for helping ease compacted soil and may take several applications.</p></div>

Q: Can I aerate my lawn if it's very dry or wet?

• <div><p>Aeration is most effective when the soil is slightly moist but not excessively dry or waterlogged. If your lawn's soil is extremely dry, consider watering it a day or two before aeration to facilitate the process. Conversely, avoid aerating when the soil is saturated or excessively wet, as it can lead to poor aeration results and potential damage to your lawn. Finding the right moisture balance is crucial for successful lawn aeration.</p></div>

Q: What causes lawn depressions?

• <div><p>Many factors can cause your yard to have lawn depressions. Here are the most common reasons: </p><ul><li><p>Heavy rainfall </p></li><li><p>Wild animals such as moles, voles, and groundhogs that burrow and tunnel</p></li><li><p>Poor drainage</p></li><li><p>Buried items such as pipes that break down</p></li><li><p>Decaying tree roots or stumps</p></li><li><p>Soil that has compacted</p></li><li><p>Improper mowing techniques</p></li><li><p>Driving heavy equipment and vehicles through the yard</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How often should I aerate my lawn?

• <div><p>Experts recommend aerating a lawn at least once a year. If you haven&rsquo;t aerated your lawn recently, or if it has a significant amount of thatch buildup, you may need to aerate it twice annually for a few years. Keeping up with a regular aeration schedule helps ensure the long-term health of your yard. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>Almost all lawns can benefit from aeration, but not all lawns need aeration services. If your lawn has puddles of standing water, uneven grass growth, thinning grass, dries out quickly, or has a good amount of thatch, aeration is worthwhile. On the other hand, if your lawn is healthy and your soil isn&rsquo;t too compact, you may be able to skip a year of aeration. </p></div>
