Ensuring your lawn thrives through the summer in Bergen County, New Jersey (including towns like Midland Park, Ridgewood, Waldwick, and beyond) starts with knowing when—and how—to aerate safely.
Why Aeration Matters
As soil becomes compacted—from foot traffic, mowing, natural settling—your lawn struggles to absorb oxygen, water, and nutrients. Aeration creates small openings in the soil, promoting deeper, stronger root growth and healthier turf.
The Right Time to Aerate
-
Light aeration in early summer can be beneficial if your lawn already shows signs of stress from compaction.
-
Avoid heavy core aeration during the heat, as removing soil plugs can further stress your lawn in sweltering conditions.
-
Wait until fall—when temperatures cool and recovery is easier—for full core aeration to help your lawn bounce back stronger.
Telltale Signs Your Lawn May Need Aeration
-
Surface water pools instead of soaking in
-
Grass appears thin or stays weak despite fertilization
-
Soil feels hard when you step on it
-
Roots are visibly shallow beneath the surface
