Over time, soil becomes compacted and a layer of thatch builds up, blocking the air, water, and nutrients your grass needs to thrive. Core aeration solves this by pulling small plugs of soil from your lawn, opening it up so roots can grow deeper and stronger.
The result is a lawn that absorbs water more efficiently, resists drought and disease, and grows noticeably thicker and greener. Aeration is one of the best investments you can make in a healthy, low-maintenance lawn.
For the biggest impact, we recommend pairing aeration with fertilizer & seeding — the open soil is the perfect environment for new seed and nutrients to take hold, and it complements your regular lawn maintenance beautifully.

- 2
Core Aerate
We pull soil plugs across the lawn to open it up for air, water, and nutrients.
- 3
Overseed (Optional)
The ideal time to overseed — we can apply seed and fertilizer while the soil is open.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I aerate my lawn?
Timing depends on your grass type, but aeration is typically done during the growing season when the lawn can recover quickly — often paired with overseeding.
Do I need to do anything with the soil plugs?
No. The plugs break down naturally within a couple of weeks and return valuable nutrients to your lawn.
How soon will I see results?
You'll often notice improved water absorption right away, with thicker, greener growth developing over the following weeks — especially when combined with overseeding.
