As the winter season fades away, your lawn in Texas is gearing up for new growth. With the right care in the spring, you can ensure that your lawn recovers from any damage sustained during winter and is ready to thrive in the upcoming growing season. One effective way to improve the soil structure of your lawn is by using liquid aeration. Unlike core aeration, it's a less invasive way to loosen compaction and improve resource access to the roots of your grass. Additionally, liquid aeration doesn't leave holes across your lawn since it doesn't involve extracting any cores. Moreover, you can cover all areas of your lawn via liquid aeration, even the hard-to-reach locations that a core aerator may not be able to reach.

Liquid aeration is a great option for spring because it is less invasive than core aeration.

Both liquid aeration and core aeration reduce soil compaction, allowing essential elements like water, nutrients, air, and sunlight to reach the roots of your lawn. However, core aeration is more invasive, and your turf needs to be strong enough to withstand it. After all, mechanically pulling up soil cores is more strenuous for your grass than applying a liquid treatment, making liquid aeration a better choice in the spring. Since it doesn't stress it out nearly as much, it's the perfect solution for helping it emerge from winter dormancy and regain its health before summer.

You won't see holes across your lawn after liquid aeration in the spring.

Another benefit of using liquid aeration over core aeration in the spring is that it won't leave any unsightly cores on your lawn. When you opt for core aeration, small soil cores are pulled up from your lawn and left sitting on top of it. While these cores will eventually return nutrients to your soil as they decompose, they can really detract from the curb appeal of your property.

When you use liquid aeration, you don't have to worry about this issue because no cores are ever pulled up from your lawn. Instead, a liquid formula containing beneficial ingredients will be used to open up channels in the soil to allow nutrients and other vital resources to penetrate the deeper layers of your soil easily. By choosing liquid aeration instead of core aeration, you can enjoy the benefits of this process without having to worry about unsightly holes being left on your lawn as it starts the new growing season.

You can cover more areas of your lawn with liquid aeration.

The last reason spring liquid aeration is ideal versus core aeration is that you can cover more areas of your lawn. A core aerator machine may not be able to fit in hard-to-reach spaces, leaving some parts without aeration. On the other hand, liquid aeration is applied via a spray to distribute the treatment evenly across your entire turf. Because of this, you can ensure your whole lawn receives the benefits of liquid aeration, even in areas where a core aerator would struggle. That way, each part of your lawn can emerge from winter dormancy refreshed and ready to tackle the upcoming growing season.

In addition to aerating your lawn in the spring, you should do so in the fall for even better results!
