π¬οΈ π« MYTH: My lawn looks fine on top, so it doesn't need aeration. β TRUTH: Compaction happens below the surface β you often can't see it until the lawn starts thinning or struggling to hold water. Across Caledon's mix of clay flats and rockier, thinner soil near the escarpment, compaction can look different from property to property, but the fix is the same. Aerating every fall, even on a lawn that looks okay, keeps soil loose enough for roots, water, and nutrients to actually get where they need to go.
