Over time, the soil beneath your lawn will become compacted. While this is natural, it's not ideal for the roots of your grass, as compaction will reduce their ability to collect the resources they need to support your lawn. However, liquid aeration can assist with this by breaking down and loosening up compacted soil. In South Dakota, liquid aeration should be done every spring, after the winter has sapped your lawn of vitality and right before summer brings its own seasonal stressors. If a liquid aeration treatment is skipped, you risk stunting the roots of your grass, making your lawn weak and susceptible to pests and disease. Keep in mind that it is recommended to hire a professional to apply liquid aeration to your lawn, as they can ensure that the job is done right.

What is liquid aeration?

When your soil is so compacted that the roots of your grass suffer, it's time to schedule a liquid aeration treatment. Liquid aeration is the process of spraying your lawn with a mixture of water and liquid aeration solution. This mixture will soak your lawn and seep into the soil, loosening and conditioning any compaction. Loosening compacted soil allows oxygen, nutrients, and water to reach the roots of your grass. With better access to these resources, your lawn will be able to optimize its biological processes. These processes are many, but some of the major examples include converting light into energy, synthesizing carbohydrates and sugars, and storing water for hydration. This is why a liquid aeration treatment is so key to your lawn care schedule.

What happens if you skip a liquid aeration treatment in the spring?

Every spring, your lawn will emerge from its winter dormancy, a time when its store of nutrients will be exhausted. With your lawn's energy drained and the summer approaching with its stressors, such as drought and heat, it's important to make sure your lawn revives and strengthens during the spring. Without a liquid aeration treatment, your lawn may struggle to do this as the roots won't have good access to water, nutrients, and oxygen because of the soil's continued compaction.

One of the common signs that your lawn's soil is compacted is puddling.
