Aerations, and Top Dressing

Lawn Aeration Services – What You Need to Know

We perform lawn aeration during April, May, and June, with limited availability again in early September for lawns that truly need additional treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aeration

Is lawn aeration necessary?
Almost all lawns benefit from aeration—and a great lawn requires it. Lawns with heavy foot traffic, excessive thatch (over 1 inch), or compacted/heavy soil benefit the most.

What happens if you don’t aerate your lawn?
Without aeration, you may start to notice:

• Shallow root growth, causing grass to dry out faster

• Increased susceptibility to disease

• Visible footprints after walking across the lawn

• Thatch buildup (a layer of dead grass and organic matter)

Why is aeration important?
Aeration relieves soil compaction by creating small holes in the ground. This allows:

• Air, water, and nutrients to reach the root system

• Stronger, deeper root growth

• Better tolerance to heat and drought

• Healthier, thicker, greener turf

“My yard used to look great—what happened?”

One of the most common things we hear is:
“I water, mow, and fertilize sometimes.”

Unfortunately, that’s not enough to maintain a healthy lawn long-term.

Your lawn needs consistent, proper care—just like your home. Without it, it will gradually decline.
