Post-aeration care is crucial for maximising the benefits. Leave the soil plugs (if using a hollow-tine aerator) on the surface - they will naturally decompose and return nutrients to the soil.
Apply a top dressing using a fine mix of compost, loam, or sand to fill in holes, level the surface, and improve soil structure. If your lawn has bare or thin areas, overseed using a suitable seed mix for your lawn type and light conditions.
Then water thoroughly to help seeds germinate and roots establish. Avoid mowing or walking on the lawn for at least a week to ensure proper recovery and seed establishment.
