Lawn Aeration
Seasonal timing: April 1st-June 15th & Sept.-Oct. 31st
During lawn Aeration we use a specialty machine to pull “cores” from the top 2-3 inches of soil. This reduces compaction, while improving the flow of air, water, and nutrients into the root-zone. Allow right set of conditions and watch your lawn thrive!
Aeration service
During your service visit we will use a reciprocating type machine similar to those used on golf course greens. With our service you can expect us to pull nearly 10 cores per square foot or ~10,000 cores from a 1000 sqft lawn!
Please Note: Help us by flagging any underground items prior to service such as irrigation heads, shallow buried cables, tree roots etc.
Some benefits of Aeration include:
~30% improvement in water utilization - Studies performed at OSU
Improved soil biology - Increase in beneficial microorganisms
Improved nutrient uptake - A deeper green with less fertilizer
Deeper roots! - Improved tolerance to heat/drought stress
