Why Should I Aerate?

The main reason for aerating is to alleviate soil compaction. Compacted soils restrict the amount of water and nutrients available for the plant affecting the health of your lawn. For heavy soils and high wear areas it is a good practice to aerate yearly. Aeration helps your lawn breathe and the above video illustrates how Turfco can aerate your lawn to alleviate compaction, increase oxygen movement between the soil and atmosphere, enhance water absorption and improve fertiliser results.

Why should I fertilise?

Fertiliser is food for your lawn and is one of the most important lawn care activities. Fertilising a lawn improves colour, wear and the overall health of your lawn. On most turf varieties we recommend fertilising up to 3 times a year in the growing months with an ideal time to fertilise being just after the lawn is aerated. 

What is the Turfco Aerate and Fertilise service?

At Turfco we look after turf 365 days a year and our passionate staff have specialised machinery that can aerate your lawn for you. All we need is 1.4m wide access for our machinery then away we go. Once aerated we will fertilise with Lawn Solutions Premium fertiliser that is ideal for all lawns as its packed with essential nutrients and trace elements to encourage strong growth and rich colour.

Once your lawn has been aerated and fertilised by Turfco we strongly recommend that you give the lawn a deep soaking of 10-20mm of water over the area which will settle the lawn from the aeration and help water in the fertiliser for best results.
