Lawn Aeration

What This Service Involves

Heavy Pacific Northwest soils and regular foot traffic compact over time, choking off the air and water that roots need. Aeration opens the soil so moisture, oxygen, and nutrients move down to the root zone, encouraging deeper roots and thicker turf. It also improves drainage and reduces the thatch and moss problems that thrive in compacted, waterlogged lawns.

Benefits

Relieves soil compaction for healthier roots; Improves water and nutrient absorption; Reduces thatch buildup and standing water; Sets up successful overseeding and fertilization; Thicker more resilient turf over time

Our Process

1) Assess soil compaction and moisture; 2) Aerate across the lawn in overlapping passes; 3) Leave or break up soil cores as appropriate; 4) Pair with overseeding or fertilization when beneficial; 5) Advise on watering to recover

What Affects the Cost

Lawn size; Soil compaction severity; Whether paired with overseeding; Access and slope

Best Time of Year

Best in early fall or spring when grass is actively growing and can recover quickly.
