Lawn Aeration for a
Greener, Thicker, Healthier Lawn!
We specialize in
lawn core
aeration. We don't mow lawns or perform landscaping.
Lawn aeration is our only service.
Lawns do more than
make your yard look good & add value to your home.
Lawns absorb and hold water, which helps reduce storm runoff
and improve water quality. Lawns also have a significant
cooling effect, provide oxygen, trap dust and dirt, promote
healthful micro-organisms, prevent erosion and filter
rainwater contaminants.
Core-aeration is the least labor intensive, most environmentally friendly gift you can give your lawn.
Benefits
of Aeration for your lawn
Aeration helps your lawn's
health and vigor, and reduces maintenance requirements. The
following are other benefits of core aeration.
- Next to watering
and fertilizing, core aeration is the best thing you can
do!
- Increases the lawn's drought tolerance and improves its
overall health.
- Reduces water
runoff and puddling by absorbing more water.
- Enhances oxygen
levels in the soil, stimulating root growth and
enhancing the activity of thatch-decomposing organisms.
- Insects, diseases, nematodes, improper watering and
a lack of fertilizer are often blamed for a lawns
decline when the real culprit is compaction.
- Gives
your lawn's roots room to grow.
- Improved
fertilizer uptake and use.
- Helps
prevent the run-off of fertilizer and pesticide from
highly compacted areas.
- Enhances
thatch breakdown.
- Reduces
soil compaction. (chart of

Lawn aeration is the
mechanical process of removing cores or plugs from the lawn to allow
water, air, fertilizer, seed and nutrients to better reach
the roots. This stimulates root growth, causing your lawn to
be healthier, thicker and greener throughout the growing
season. Lawn aeration also helps reduce thatch build up. The
plugs will gradually break down into your lawn leaving
behind important nutrients and aid in the long term control
of thatch levels.
We
use a commercial-grade turf aerator which is
highly maneuverable and punches 9 holes per square foot in a
single pass! Our aerator will produce cores every 4"– 6"
and from 2"– 3" deep, which gives the best results. This specialized equipment allows us to
thoroughly relieve soil compaction along walks, decks and
flower beds. The 5/8" diameter cores are ejected onto the
soil surface creating a beneficial top-dressing that
stimulates beneficial "thatch consuming" bacteria and allows
air, water & nutrients to travel directly to the root zone.
