Although most people associate lawn aeration with the beginning of spring, fall aeration is also an important task to consider.
During the fall your lawn prepares for the colder temperatures. By aerating your lawn in the fall, with a spike aerator or core aeration tool, you increase root growth and allow the grass to breathe.
Lawn aeration is a vital activity in your lawn maintenance routine
- Promotes healthy root growth
Lawn aeration means making small holes in the soil to let in air, water and nutrients. - Improves absorption of nutrients
Compacted soil prevents plant roots from accessing essential nutrients. - Improves soil drainage
Aerating the lawn helps compact the soil, allowing water to drain. It also reduces the risk of root rot and other water problems. - Reduces thatch buildup
Thatch refers to the buildup of grass and dead roots on the soil surface. Aeration helps break down thatch and keeps your lawn healthier. - Increases oxygen exchange
Oxygen is crucial for both soil and root health. Compacted soil limits the flow of oxygen, resulting in an unhealthy lawn. Aeration introduces oxygen, encouraging a better environment for soil and root growth. - Prevents soil erosion
Aeration can help prevent soil erosion by strengthening the root system of your grass. A well-aerated lawn is better equipped to fix soil in place, reducing the risk of erosion during heavy rain or high winds. - Improves the efficiency of pesticides and fertilizers
Pesticides and fertilizers do not work well in compacted soils. Aeration ensures that these treatments can effectively penetrate the soil. It makes them more efficient at addressing pest problems and promoting grass growth.
Our aeration service will ensure you have the thickest, best-looking lawn possible.
We aerate your entire lawn two times during the same visit, then spread a new seed mix of sun- and shade-loving grasses that will grow inside the holes created by the aeration. This service is very effective for renewing fine, shady and high-traffic lawns.
Aerating the lawn ensures a lush green property by allowing the necessary absorption of water and nutrients directly to the roots; It also increases the grass's ability to absorb water, which helps reduce unnecessary runoff or water pooling.
