Most people don’t realize their grass is currently being suffocated.
When soil gets compacted from foot traffic, mowing, and just the result of time, it creates a barrier that blocks air, water, and nutrients from reaching grass roots.
This causes thin, patchy grass, dead spots, and makes it harder for your lawn to stay healthy and green.
That’s why lawn aeration is so important.
You might notice your grass isn’t as green as it used to be. Maybe water pools up on the surface instead of soaking in. Or fertilizer doesn’t seem to work like it should.
These are all signs your lawn needs to get aerated.
Our professional lawn aeration service opens up thousands of channels (“plugs”) in your soil, letting your grass finally get what it needs to thrive.
It’s like giving your lawn a fresh start.
It’s no wonder why the people with the best lawns in the neighborhood aerate every year – they know it’s the secret to grass that stays thick and green all season long.
Your lawn aeration is performed with professional equipment by trained technicians who know how to get the best results. Our lawn aeration service includes everything needed for maximum results:
We check your soil compaction levels and identify problem areas before starting. This helps us focus on spots that need extra attention. We also walk through the property to identify any buried obstacles or sprinkler heads.
We use commercial-grade aerators that pull 2-3 inch soil plugs from your lawn. These machines create thousands of holes that let air, water, and nutrients reach deep into the root zone.
(most popular add-on) The perfect time to seed your lawn is right after aeration. Seeds fall into the holes created by aeration, giving them direct soil contact for better germination. This combo gives you the thickest lawn possible.
Give your grass an immediate boost with fertilizer that goes straight to the roots through aeration holes. This jumpstarts recovery and maximizes the benefits of your aeration service.

We know that every lawn has different needs, that’s why we offer flexible lawn aeration service options:
Perfect for established lawns that just need improved nutrient absorption or to relieve soil compaction. Core aeration helps your existing grass grow stronger.
Our most popular option for lawns that need thickening. We aerate first, then spread premium grass seed that matches your existing lawn. The seed falls into aeration holes for maximum effectiveness. See new grass growth within weeks!
For lawns that need additional help, we combine aeration with heavy overseeding and starter fertilizer. This gives thin, damaged lawns the best chance at a complete transformation.
The ideal time to aerate cool-season grass is in the Fall.
The ideal time to aerate warm-season grass is in late spring to early summer.
A simple test to see if you need aeration: try pushing a pencil into your lawn. If it’s hard to push in, you most likely would benefit from getting your lawn aerated.
Other signs include water pooling, bare spots, or grass that won’t green up despite watering and fertilizing.
You’ll notice better water absorption immediately. Grass starts looking healthier in 2-3 weeks. If you overseeded, new grass appears in 7-14 days, with full results in 4-6 weeks.
