Breathe Life Back Into Your Lawn

What is Core Aeration?

Core aeration is a process that removes small plugs (or “cores”) of soil from your lawn to reduce compaction and improve airflow, water absorption and nutrient delivery to the grass roots. Over time, soil becomes compacted from foot traffic, mowing and natural settling — making it harder for your grass to grow. Core aeration breaks up that compacted soil, helping your lawn breathe, grow deeper roots and stay green and healthy.

Benefits of Core Aeration:

Core aeration is one of the most effective lawn care treatments you can invest in, especially when done annually.

  • Relieves soil compaction
  • Improves root growth and turf resilience
  • Enhances water, oxygen and nutrient flow to roots
  • Reduces thatch buildup
  • Boosts fertilizer effectiveness
  • Prepares lawn for overseeding or topdressing
