# Why Aerate your Lawn?

Aeration is the process of breaking up the soil to improve its aeration and drainage. This improves the soil's ability to absorb water, nutrients and air, which in turn leads to a healthier lawn, landscape and tree roots.

Aeration also removes excess debris, including weed seeds, that can lead to turf damage or erosion. It's important to aerate your lawn on a regular basis to keep it healthy and invigorated!
If you don't know how often to aerate your lawn, here are some tips:

- Aerate your lawn every 3-6 months during the growing season or every six months during the dormant season.
- Use a standard aerator or an electric one with a rotary blade.
- Start at the base of the grass and work your way up.
- Keep your equipment moving so that you don't compact the soil too much.

1) Treating Your Lawn With A Dormant Agent
