It is the compaction of heavy clay soils that halt deep root development and the movement of water and nutrients into the soil. This lack of strong, vigorous roots is what often leads to a thin lawn which cannot stand up to the heat and drought of summer.\u00a0<\/p><p>Soil compaction can happen for many different reasons including, outdoor entertaining or yard play by kids and pets, and heavy lawn mowing equipment. If your grass often looks stressed (grass blades curling or turning brown at the tips) and your soil is hard to the touch or rainwater puddles up where it used to be absorbed, you may have compaction problems.<\/p><p>It&#8217;s a good idea to perform &#8220;the screwdriver test&#8221;. Take a screwdriver and push it into the ground. If it becomes difficult and does not go in smoothly, the lawn needs moisture and should be aerated.<\/p><p>\u200b\u200bCompacted soil is often mistaken with pest infestations, a lack of fertilizer, disease outbreaks, or several other common lawn problems. When the compaction of the soil is to blame, the damage to the lawn may look similar to other common problems, but any treatment other than aeration will have little impact on the health of your lawn.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-22f9bba elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"22f9bba\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8ae7c07\" data-id=\"8ae7c07\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab2d8a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab2d8a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3>When To Aerate Your Lawn<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5fe3715 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5fe3715\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">The best time to aerate your lawn is during growing season.
