Most people don’t realize their grass is being suffocated.
Over time, foot traffic and mowing press the soil down, making it hard for air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. This can lead to thin grass, bare spots, and water pooling on the surface.
Lawn aeration fixes this problem.
Our professional aeration service removes small plugs of soil to open up the ground. This allows your grass to breathe, absorb nutrients, and grow thicker and greener.
That’s why homeowners with the best lawns aerate every year — it’s the key to a healthier, stronger lawn.
Your lawn aeration is done using professional equipment by trained technicians who know how to deliver the best results. Our lawn aeration service includes everything needed to help your lawn grow stronger and healthier:
Before we begin, we check soil compaction and identify problem areas that need extra attention. We also walk the property to locate sprinkler heads and any buried obstacles to ensure safe, effective aeration.
We use commercial-grade aerators to remove 2–3 inch soil plugs from your lawn. This creates thousands of small openings that allow air, water, and nutrients to reach deep into the root zone where your grass needs it most.
Aeration creates the perfect conditions for seeding. Grass seed falls into the holes left by aeration, giving it direct contact with the soil for better germination. This add-on helps create a thicker, fuller lawn.
A starter fertilizer applied after aeration feeds your lawn right at the roots. This helps your grass recover faster and get the most benefit from 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.
