Liquid aeration is the process of creating pathways in the soil to allow air, sunshine, water, and nutrients to access the soil. Aeration can help your lawn’s roots get deeper and your soil to get healthier. In this blog, you’ll learn a bit about liquid aeration and the benefits of the process!
When & Why You Should Aerate Your Lawn
Regardless of the time of year, liquid aeration helps you to handle drought conditions because water can get through to your deeper levels of soil. Depending on where you live, you could qualify for a rebate on lawn aeration from your city. You’ll have a healthier lawn and more money in your pocketbook! That’s what we call a win-win.
For warm season grasses, like those you find in Texas, you should aerate in the late spring or early summer.
- Bermuda
- St. Augustine
- Zoysiagrass
Cold season grasses should be aerated in late summer or early fall.
- Fescue
- Wheatgrass
- Texas Bluegrass
How often should you aerate your lawn?
The best time to aerate your lawn varies depending on the type of soil and grass you have. Since liquid aeration is so important for clay soil it should be rated twice a year; once in the spring and once in the fall. Sandy soil should be aerated once a year, either in the spring or the fall.
More About the Rebate
Here’s how it could look:
- Emerald Lawns provides you with lawn aeration and give you a receipt
- You take photos of the completed work and turn in the application, receipts, and photos
- Lastly, await your $50 rebate (and make plans to treat yourself to dinner when you receive it!)
Check out a list we put together of local cities that offer rebates for aeration. We’ve linked to the rebate pages in blue.
