Aerators punch holes in the lawn, allowing more air and moisture to penetrate the soil. You can hire someone to do the aerating or you can do it yourself by renting a core aerator from a local rental shop or garden center. Leave the plugs lay on top of the grass to decompose.
Water your lawn well before aerating. Aerating is best done during the season when your type of lawn grass is actively growing.
