How often should I aerate my lawn in Utah?
For many Utah lawns, we recommend core aeration twice a year—once in the spring and again in the fall—to help reduce soil compaction and support healthy root growth.
What are the benefits of lawn aeration?
Core aeration helps reduce soil compaction and improves the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrients into the root zone, creating better conditions for a healthier lawn.
When is the best time to aerate a lawn in Utah?
Spring and fall are excellent times for aeration because Utah’s common cool-season grasses are actively growing and can recover from the aeration process.
What are the small plugs left on my lawn after aeration?
Those soil plugs are normal and should be left on the lawn. They naturally break down over time and return organic material and soil to the turf.
