Core aeration can benefit all lawns and is one of the major techniques used by athletic fields and golf courses to keep grass growing well. In my opinion if you’re looking to save money then skip one cycle of fertilizer and aerate the lawn. It will definitely pay off.

There are small hills and flat areas with very little activity on the grass.
Yards have been well taken care of by the landscaping company. There are large areas of very nice grass (when looking at it from a distance), but with closer inspection there are small and large patches that have no grass. When it rains the ground is soft, when it is dry the ground is very hard. I can not find anything that explains the benefit of continuing what we are doing vs aeration, which I have heard is the best thing to keep a lawn healthy.

I have thought that aeration is best for all lawns but it is difficult to convince the board that it is worth the expense. Any help would be appreciated.

I just moved into a brand new house with a remnant of lawn and cleared sandy soil that I want to turn into a beautiful lawn. I just heard about aeration – what a great idea! No wonder my old lawn on clay soil never thrived – guess I won’t make that mistake on this lawn!
