If your lawn is looking tired, patchy, or compacted, core aeration could be exactly what it needs. In Perth, spring is the prime season to carry out this service and give your lawn the best chance to thrive through summer.
Core aeration involves removing small plugs of soil from your lawn. This relieves compaction, improves drainage, and creates pathways for air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeply into the root zone.
Perth soils, especially in new housing estates, are often sandy on top but can become compacted due to foot traffic, pets, and heavy use. Compaction suffocates roots and limits growth. By aerating in spring, when lawns are actively growing, the holes left behind quickly fill with healthy root growth.
Aerating in spring gives your lawn time to recover and strengthen before summer stress hits. Combine aeration with fertilising, and you’ll notice a greener, thicker lawn within weeks.
Core aeration is one of the most effective yet underrated lawn care treatments. Done in spring, it sets the stage for a healthier, more resilient lawn that can handle the challenges of Perth’s hot, dry months ahead.
