From Why and When to How - We Answer It All!
Do I need to Aerate?
Signs that your yard needs to be aerated are:
Thinning grass
Poor drainage
Patchy brown areas
Excessive thatch buildup
★ A soil test can let you know if your soil is too compact. If you have a soil test done, soil compaction is indicated by (W/V) weight per volume. If this number is greater than 1.6 g/cm³, your soil is too compacted, which restricts root growth.
When should I Aerate?
The ideal timing for aeration services depends on your grass type.
Warm-season grasses, like Bermuda, Zoysia, and Centipede, should be aerated in the Spring
Cool-season grasses, like Fescue, should be aerated in the Fall.
★ Aerating during the appropriate growing season, allows the grass to undergo less stress, quickly recover, and have better overall lawn health.
How is Core Aeration done?
Core aeration is completed using a specialized machine that removes small plugs of soil. These plugs are left on the lawn surface, where they will break down, reintroducing organic matter and nutrients into the soil. Core aeration relieves compaction, allowing water, air, and nutrients to penetrate the soil, leading to a healthier lawn.
We highly recommend pairing Aeration with a Soil Test. Aeration opens up the root zone, making it the perfect time to analyze your soil and add the right organic matter or fertilizers. This ensures nutrients reach the roots quickly for the best results.

Overseeding
Adds new grass seed to your lawn to make it thicker and healthier. Aeration enhances overseeding by creating holes where seeds can settle and grow more effectively.

Topdressing
Applies a thin layer of compost over your turf to improve growth and soil structure. Aeration helps topdressing by allowing the material to penetrate the soil more deeply.

Dethatching
Removes decaying plant material to allow more air, water, and nutrient circulation. Aeration works well after dethatching by opening up the soil for better air and water flow.
FAQs
-
A: Yes, we recommend mowing beforehand. This keeps your lawn neat and gives it plenty of time to recover after aeration without becoming overgrown.
-
A: Yes, we recommend marking irrigation heads or other obstructions with flags.
-
A: For most lawns in our service area, we recommend aerating once a year, typically in the fall for cool-season grasses like fescue and in late spring for warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia. If your lawn experiences heavy foot traffic or soil compaction, aerating twice a year may be beneficial.
-
You may notice some immediate improvements in water absorption and soil structure, but the most significant results, like increased turf density and improved color, typically become visible within a few weeks, especially if combined with proper fertilization and overseeding.
-
A: It’s best to water your lawn the day before aeration to soften the soil, allowing the aerator to remove deeper cores. After aeration, continue watering as needed to support recovery and encourage new root growth, especially if you’re overseeding.
-
A: Yes, but it’s best to wait a couple of days to allow the soil plugs to begin breaking down. If you’re overseeding after aeration, avoid mowing for at least 10 - 14 days to give the new grass a chance to establish.
