Long Island’s clay-heavy soil compacts over the mowing season. Here are 5 signs your Bay Shore lawn needs core aeration this fall.

  1. Water puddles after rain — compacted soil can’t absorb water fast enough.
  2. Lawn feels spongy underfoot — thick thatch is blocking nutrient flow.
  3. Bare or thin patches — seeds can’t germinate in hard ground.
  4. Lawn is 3+ years old — regular aeration is part of any Long Island lawn program.
  5. High-traffic areas look worn — foot traffic compacts paths over the summer.
