Cotswolds Garden - FAQs
Frequently asked gardening related questions
Most UK lawns benefit from aeration once per year, typically in autumn. However, lawns on heavy clay soils, those subject to regular use (e.g., by children or pets), or those showing signs of compaction may benefit from aerating twice annually - once in spring and once in autumn.
For sandy or loamy soils with good structure and minimal traffic, aeration every 2-3 years may be sufficient. Ultimately, the frequency depends on your lawn's condition. If your lawn becomes easily waterlogged, has poor growth despite feeding, or feels hard underfoot, it likely needs more frequent aeration.
