Aerate when soil is moist, but not saturated. The tines of a lawn aerator penetrate moist soil more deeply; soil thatâs too wet clogs tines. To achieve the correct moisture balance, your lawn should absorb 1 inch of water â delivered through rainfall or irrigation â prior to aerating.
A: No. If your lawn is doing fine and the soil isn't compacted, there's no need to aerate at all. (Aeration involves using a machine that removes finger-sized cores from the soil and deposits them on the surface to create more air space.). If your soil is compacted (and many are), fall is a great time to aerate -- ideally right after a rain when the soil is soft. Some years other goals take precedence, though.
