Professional Lawn Aeration Services
Break through compacted soil and give your lawn the air, water, and nutrients it needs to thrive with our core aeration services.
Why Your Lawn Needs Aeration
Over time, soil becomes compacted from foot traffic, mowing, and weather conditions. This compaction prevents air, water, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. Our professional core aeration service removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction and promote healthier, deeper root growth.
Core Aeration Technology
We use professional core aerators that pull 2-4 inch plugs of soil, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients.
Improved Root Development
Aeration stimulates deeper, stronger root systems that make your lawn more drought-resistant and healthy.
Enhanced Nutrient Absorption
Your lawn can better absorb fertilizer and water after aeration, maximizing the value of your lawn care program.
How Our Aeration Process Works
Our systematic approach ensures complete coverage and optimal results for your lawn.
Lawn Assessment
We evaluate your lawn's condition, soil type, and compaction level to determine the best aeration strategy.
Core Aeration
Professional aerators pull soil cores 2-4 inches deep, creating optimal channels for air and water penetration.
Post-Aeration Care
Soil plugs break down naturally, and we provide guidance on watering and follow-up treatments for best results.
Benefits of Professional Aeration
Better Water Absorption
Reduces water runoff and puddling, allowing moisture to reach root zones effectively.
Improved Air Circulation
Oxygen reaches root systems more easily, promoting healthier grass and beneficial soil microbes.
Stronger Root Growth
Deep, robust root systems create a thicker, more resilient lawn that handles stress better.
Enhanced Fertilizer Efficiency
Nutrients penetrate deeper into the soil, maximizing the effectiveness of your fertilization program.
Best Time to Aerate Your Lawn
Fall Aeration (Recommended)
Late summer through early fall is the ideal time for aeration in Indiana. Cooler temperatures and increased rainfall create perfect conditions for recovery.
- August - October (optimal timing)
- Perfect for overseeding combination
- Prepares lawn for winter
Spring Aeration
Early spring aeration can also be beneficial, especially for lawns with severe compaction or heavy clay soil.
- April - May (good alternative)
- Jumpstarts spring growth
- Reduces soil compaction
Important: Mark Shallow Lines Before Aeration
To prevent damage during aeration, please mark or flag any shallow underground utilities and obstacles in your yard before your scheduled service. Our aerators pull 2-4 inch plugs and can damage items buried at shallow depths.
Items to mark include:
- Cable and internet lines
- Irrigation heads and lines
- Drainage pipes and French drains
- Septic tank lids and lines
- Invisible dog fence wires
- Landscape lighting wires
- Shallow tree roots
- Valve boxes and clean-outs
Pro-Turf is not responsible for damage to unmarked shallow utilities or obstacles. Please call 811 to request utility locates for deeper gas, electric, and water lines.
