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. Lloydminster's dense prairie clay compacts easily under summer heat and dries hard, sealing off the surface. 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.
