Lawn Aeration

A crucial part of ensuring your lawn is healthy and able to look its best.

What is Lawn Aeration?

Lawn aeration helps your grass grow stronger and stay healthier by removing small soil plugs. This process allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots more easily, promoting deeper and more efficient absorption.

How To Know WhenYour Lawn Needs To Be Aerated

Notice Puddles After it Rains
If you notice that water pools or forms puddles on your lawn after rain, the grass in certain areas remains soggy or doesn’t dry out quickly, or
the lawn struggles to absorb water, leading to runoff then you should consider aeration.
Weak or Patchy Grass
If your grass is growing slowly, unevenly, or has become patchy despite regular watering and fertilization, it could be a sign that your lawn is in need of aeration. Bare spots or thin areas across your lawn, along with grass that looks yellow or dull, are indicators that your grass roots aren't receiving the nutrients and air they need to thrive..
Thatch Build-Up
A thick layer of thatch—comprised of dead grass and other organic material—can block water, air, and nutrients from reaching the soil. If this layer is over half an inch thick, your lawn is likely struggling. You might also notice that the grass feels unusually spongy when walked on, indicating a build-up that is suffocating the soil below. For severe build-ups, a thatching service may be more beneficial than aeration.
Compacted Soil
If your lawn feels hard and dense underfoot, it may be suffering from soil compaction. This is especially noticeable when you struggle to insert a simple tool like a screwdriver or garden fork into the ground. High-traffic areas, where people or pets frequently walk, are often the most affected, leading to thinning grass and visible signs of stress.

Mowing
It is important for a successful aeration to mow the lawn a little shorter than normal before the service. Partially to help the machine get right to the soil but also because you aren't going to be mowing for 3-4 weeks after while the new grass takes root. We will take care of the cut as well as making sure your edges along the sidewalks and driveway get a touch up as well.

Overseeding
After we finish mowing and aerating, we will spread grass seed across all of the lawn areas. It is important to make sure that all areas of your lawn get at least 10-15 minutes a day of water for the first 7-10 days for the new grass to germinate. Once you see new blades get to about an inch tall, you can cut back the water a bit, and once you see it hit 2 inches, you can go to watering occasionally, and once the new grass hits 3-4 inches, you can mow it again.
Clean Up
Once the lawn is mowed, edges cut, lawn aerated, and overseeded, we will blow off all surfaces to make sure there are no grass seeds or soil plugs left on the pavement.
