Yes, all soil types can benefit from aeration, but the approach should be tailored.
Clay soils, which are common in many UK gardens, compact easily and require frequent hollow-tine aeration, possibly twice a year. Sandy soils don't compact as easily but benefit from occasional aeration to enhance nutrient retention and root access.
Loamy soils, considered the ideal garden soil, may only need aerating every couple of years, depending on lawn use. Always assess the lawn's performance and surface condition rather than relying solely on soil type to determine when to aerate.
