- Everything you need to know about aerating a lawn. This video is a compilation of approximately 17 videos I've published on lawn aeration over the past four years. The bottom line is I think aerating is worth the time and energy to do right.

Love your channel! It’s helped me a lot get my lawn back to its best!!!
So glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing Uria!
Gosh I'm glad I made it to the end of the video! I need a consult desperately,
Lol
I use a pull behind core aerator with my rider. It works fairly well, but getting the corners covered is a challenge. I may look into the yard butler to cover those areas.
That would be an awesome way to do big areas but yep, the corners are hard for anything that isn't manual. Perhaps the corners could be softened with liquid aeration and then manually cored to make them a bit easier to do.
I was wondering how well the pull behind core aerators work. I was thinking about getting one since I have a riding mower. No way would I ever drop $3k on a gas core aerator and I don’t see the point in renting one since they’re so heavy to have to load and unload especially since in my state I’m supposed to Aerate 2x year with clay soil.
Great video!!! If the grass is too had to aerate is because......
Have been looking at your vids for a while this spring. Find they are confusing because you compare old and new techniques. Please just make recommendations as of today. Thks
Thanks soldier 🙂
Hi, I am commenting after only watching just a third of your video, but I think I got my answer...my turf management company wanted me to pay to get a second aeration in early June. I have a bermuda lawn in Georgia, and I said no, and I think you are saying it should be done in the spring (they did it in March) and fall. Thanks. By the way, you have 333 thumbs up, and when I see that I think of Jeremiah 33:3. God bless.
Michigan here. More of a clay soil. When should I aerate and dethatch? Or is it dethatch then aerate?
If lived in Michigan I'd probably start aerating in mid-March depending on how mild or harsh the weather is at that time of year. On average though mid-March seems good to me. As for thatching, I'd probably wait until late August to thin out dead material and overgrowth before the Fall growth surge. Obviously there would be exceptions to those timings but that's probably what I would do to an average lawn in your area. Also, for clay soil I'd probably recommend a aerating both in March and in early sept especially if you think you might do a fall overseed.
What do you di in states like Texas where we have crappy, very hard soil with a lot of rocks (where I live) and we have been in stage 2 water restriction since last August. It will be challenging to water sufficiently with that in place and the penalties for violating the restriction. I'd be so interested in you addressing warm/hot weather lawncare. Thank you!
I'll try to make some dedicated videos on the topic this year but to be overly-brief I'll say I'd grow buffalograss. I have a handful of vids on the topic already and I'm waiting for my parkway strip to come in which is seeded buffalograss. Vids on the topic should be more frequent this year but it's what I would consider as a top option for TX. Low water requirement, high heat tolerance, freeze tolerant, standard herbicide tolerant. It has a longer dormant period though.
I have the Yard Butler and have used it several times on my lawn. Does take a few hours to do but works well and less destructive to the turf then gas powered aerators and obviously cheaper to use. Also use my GreenWorks dethatcher after years of manually using thatch rake which was labor intensive. Both products are a cheap option for small lawns like mine. 😁
Those two tools are a couple of the best values a lawnowner can spend their money on for sure. I didn't say in this video but I'm now using my Corona two-pronged core puller when my Yard Butler got too damaged. It might be even better as it's bot a wider cone shape on the cores; it has worked amazing for me.
What part of oregon are you in?
I was in Klamath Falls OR, moved last year to Camarillo CA
I have a few biological aerators that burrow tunnels in my yard.
Thats a half glass full way of looking at it :D
Lol
Lol, it's not your yard😂
@@Major-xm9bh You are correct. They own it. I just cut the grass.
@@j.a.y.4875 absolutely 😁
