Core aeration
Let air, water and food reach the roots again.
Over time, soil becomes compacted, limiting air, water, and nutrients. Our core aeration service opens up the soil, encouraging deeper root growth and a more resilient lawn.

How we aerate
- Lawn evaluation
We assess your soil, grass health, and any problem areas before treatment.
- Aeration service
Our team runs the aerator across your lawn in a crosshatch pattern, removing thousands of soil plugs.
- Cleanup and tips
The plugs are left on your lawn to naturally decompose and return nutrients to the soil.
- Optional enhancements
After aeration, we can combine services like overseeding or fertilization for maximum results.
Questions we get asked
What is core aeration, and why is it important?
Core aeration removes small plugs of soil from your lawn to reduce compaction. This allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots more easily, helping grass grow stronger and healthier over time.
When is the best time to schedule professional core aeration services?
In Wisconsin, aeration is typically most effective during active growing seasons, such as spring or fall. This timing helps your lawn recover quickly and take full advantage of improved soil conditions.
How often should I aerate my lawn?
Most lawns benefit from aeration once a year. However, heavily used or compacted lawns may need more frequent service to maintain healthy growth.
Will my lawn look messy after aeration?
You’ll notice small soil plugs on the surface right after service, but they break down naturally within a couple of weeks, returning nutrients to the soil.
