Why Aerate Your Lawn?

Aerating your grass is the process of using a machine to remove cores of turf from your lawn, which will improve the flow of air, water, and nutrients to otherwise dense, compacted soil. One of the greatest causes of soil compaction is walking and mowing. When the soil is compacted, dirt is forced together, which reduces the area where roots can grow. Lawn Aeration relieves soil compaction and helps restore your lawn to a healthy vibrant state

The primary benefits of lawn aeration include:

  • Improves air circulation to the roots, which will promote deeper growth

  • Breaks up clay and hard soil

  • Stimulates beneficial microorganisms

  • Helps seed germinate

  • Promotes a thick, healthy lawn

  • Reduces water runoff and improves drainage

FAQs about Aeration

Aerating will allow your grass to grow healthier, greener and thicker. It will also help with drainage and allow air and water to reach the roots of your lawn.

What industries do you serve?

If I had to pick the absolute best time of the year to aerate your grass it would be during the spring between February and June, although the fall is also a pretty good time to aerate as well. These are the seasons when your lawn is actively growing and you can overseed right away.
