After a wet winter, spring aeration can harm rather than help if soil moisture is wrong. Soil moisture decides whether hollow or solid tining is the right call.

Compaction relief, aeration, drainage and soil analysis for ground that works.
After a wet winter, spring aeration can harm rather than help if soil moisture is wrong. Soil moisture decides whether hollow or solid tining is the right call.
Slitting, sarel rolling and surface drain channels can shift standing water off compacted amenity turf this winter. Here is how each method works and when to use it.
A soil analysis report covers pH, phosphorus, potassium and organic matter. Here is how to read those four figures before you order winter fertiliser.
Summer footfall leaves soil compacted and slow to drain. Aerate in September so autumn rain soaks into the ground rather than pooling on a capped surface.
Use the knife test and winter wear patterns to find compacted areas now, so spring aeration targets the right spots when growth starts.
