About our core aeration services
One of the key techniques for keeping a lawn vibrant and free from disease is proper aeration. Core aeration creates small holes in the soil, promoting better air circulation, water absorption, and nutrient uptake. The process alleviates soil compaction, encourages root growth, and improves the overall health of your grass. Aeration can be performed any time the ground is not frozen, but early spring and late fall are the best windows — the lawn is in a growth phase then and recovers quickly. It pairs naturally with overseeding and with lime, since the open cores give both a direct path into the soil rather than leaving them sitting on the surface.

FAQs
Frequently asked
When is the best time to aerate?
Early spring or late fall, while the lawn is actively growing and can recover quickly. It can be done any time the ground is not frozen, but those two windows give the best result.
Should I leave the plugs on the lawn?
Yes. The cores break down within a couple of weeks and return soil and organic matter to the surface, which helps manage thatch. Raking them up defeats part of the purpose.
