Overview

Core aeration is one of the most effective soil health practices in professional turf management.

By mechanically removing small soil plugs from the surface, it reduces compaction, increases infiltration, and enhances gas exchange within the root zone. These effects improve root growth, nutrient efficiency, and the overall biological balance of the soil. Performed under the correct moisture and growth conditions, mechanical aeration strengthens the foundation beneath your lawn. The removed cores naturally decompose, returning organic matter and helping the soil re-establish pore space critical for air, water, and microbial activity. This service is available only to current clients with an active fertilization and weed control plan. Pairing aeration with professional nutrition ensures that the soil system receives both the physical and chemical support needed for sustainable improvement.

Why Aerate?

Soil Aeration = Balance

  • Relieve Compaction and Restore Soil Function

    Over time, traffic, rainfall, and mowing compress soil structure, restricting root growth and oxygen exchange. Aeration reopens pore space so air, water, and nutrients can move freely through the root zone—restoring the soil’s natural function.

  • Increase Nutrient Efficiency and Root Strength

    Healthy roots require both access and availability. By loosening the soil, aeration improves nutrient movement and absorption, allowing roots to grow deeper and stronger while improving drought tolerance and color stability.

  • Enhance Soil Biology and Long-Term Performance

    Each aeration pass stimulates microbial life, breaks down thatch into organic matter, and improves the soil’s physical and biological balance. The result is a healthier, more resilient turf system that amplifies the impact of every fertilization and weed control treatment.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions: Aeration

Understand how mechanical core aeration supports turf and soil performance.

Question

Why is aeration offered only to active clients?

Aeration is most effective when combined with proper fertilization and weed control. These programs supply the nutrients needed for recovery and ensure results are sustained long-term.

Question

When is the best time for aeration?

For warm-season turf such as Bermuda, we perform aeration during mid to late spring when active growth supports rapid recovery. For cool-season turf such as Fescue, aeration is performed in early fall.

Question

What should I expect during and after service?

Our equipment extracts ½–¾" diameter cores to a depth of 2–4". The cores remain on the surface and will naturally break down through rain, irrigation, and mowing. Full recovery typically occurs within 10–14 days under active growth.

Question

Can I mow or water immediately after aeration?

Yes. Continue mowing as usual once the surface is dry. Irrigation is beneficial immediately after service to help the soil settle and to initiate core decomposition.

Question

How often should my lawn be aerated?

Most properties benefit from annual aeration. High-traffic or heavily compacted sites—such as clay-based soils or frequently mowed lawns—may benefit from two passes per year to maintain infiltration and structure.
