Aeration

We relieve compacted soil by creating small holes that let water, air, and nutrients reach your grass roots. This boosts lawn health, encourages deeper growth, and improves overall turf quality—without damaging your sprinkler system.

Poor Water Absorption? Aeration Is the Fix

You may have noticed that despite regularly watering your lawn, the soil isn’t absorbing the water well and your grass isn’t flourishing. This may be because your landscape’s soil is too compact, which keeps nutrients, water, and oxygen from reaching roots efficiently.

Lawn aeration loosens compacted soil, helping roots grow deeper and resulting in a lush, healthy lawn. Read on to find out how our aeration services can benefit your home landscape and which type is best for your lawn.

What Is Lawn Aeration?

Lawn aeration is the process of making many small holes in your lawn’s soil to help water, air, and nutrients circulate and allow plant roots to grow more deeply. This practice lets the soil “breathe” and prevents it from compacting too tightly, resulting in a lawn with vibrant, well-nourished grass.

The Aeration Process

Lawn aeration is best done by professionals like Irrigation Experts, as our expert team will make sure that our aeration tools don’t damage your sprinkler system. Here’s how we do aeration from start to finish on your sprinkler-equipped landscape:

Inspect and prepare the lawn for aeration

Aeration begins by prepping the lawn to make it easier to make holes in the soil. We’ll mow your lawn and water the soil if needed, so the soil is soft and easier to penetrate.

Lawn aeration

We then use an aerating tool to thoroughly cover your entire lawn and reduce soil compaction. During this process, we strive to reduce soil removal and minimize disturbance to your landscape.

Post-aeration lawn care

After aeration, it’s the perfect time to turn on your sprinkler system and water your lawn to wrap up its treatment. The water will seep deeply into the freshly aerated soil and better nourish the grass.

Types Of Lawn Aeration

There are three main types of lawn aeration, each with its benefits and drawbacks. Here’s a straightforward explanation of how each one works:

Core Aeration

In core aeration, we use a core aerator to remove small plugs of soil (a.k.a. cores) and grass from the earth, which are then left on your lawn surface to decompose. While it’s more labor-intensive, it’s highly effective for reducing compaction and maintaining a healthy lawn.

Liquid Aeration

Liquid aeration involves applying a chemical conditioner to your lawn to create small fractures, improving water, air, and nutrient circulation. It’s a non-invasive method and easy to do as you only have to apply the chemicals to your lawn. However, results vary depending on the chemicals used and it can take several applications to show results.

Spike Aeration

This method uses a spiked manual tool to create holes in your lawn without removing soil. Because it merely pushes the soil aside instead of removing it, it’s less labor-intensive but not as effective as core aeration. It may also worsen compacting because the soil gets further compressed around the created holes.

How Does Aeration Help Maintain My Lawn?

Here’s a quick explanation of the biggest benefits of lawn aeration:

  • Improved nutrient absorption: Reducing soil compaction allows nutrients to reach roots more efficiently.

  • Better root growth: Aeration improves root access to much-needed oxygen, water, and nutrients, making roots stronger and your lawn more resistant to drought.

  • Greater air circulation: The holes improve oxygen flow to turf roots, helping the grass grow quickly.

  • Increased water penetration: The holes created during lawn aeration make it easier for water to trickle down and reach the root zone of your grass. This reduces runoff and prevents the formation of marshy areas and wet spots on your lawn. It also uses the water from your sprinkler system more efficiently, preventing unnecessary water bill increases.

  • Reduced soil compaction: Compacted soil makes it harder for your grass roots to grow deeply. By perforating small holes into your lawn’s soil to break it up, you improve your grass root development and make your lawn healthier.

How Often Should I Aerate My Lawn?

Ideally, you should aerate your lawn every year. However, if you use your lawn more heavily or your soil has a lot of clay, you may need to increase aeration frequency to at least twice a year.

Take these factors into consideration when deciding how often you should aerate your lawn:

Foot traffic, as heavier foot traffic can result in more compact soil

The peak growing season of your landscape’s grass

The type of soil you have on your property
