Lawn Aeration Services

Aeration services focus on relieving compacted soil and improving the flow of air, water, and nutrients to grassroots. This involves using specialized equipment to remove small plugs of soil, which helps create a healthier, more resilient lawn. Over time, this encourages stronger root growth, reduces water pooling, and enhances overall turf quality.

Over time, your lawn’s soil naturally becomes compacted, especially if your yard sees a lot of foot traffic be it from weekend gatherings, energetic kids, or playful pets. If you’ve noticed water pooling in certain spots or your grass struggling to grow, that’s a sign it’s time to give your lawn some breathing room. Aeration helps loosen up the soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots where they’re needed most. It’s a simple step that can completely refresh your lawn and set it up for healthier, more vigorous growth.

With all the rain in British Columbia, it’s no surprise that lawns can get compacted over time. When water starts pooling instead of soaking in, it’s a clear sign that the soil is packed too tight, making it tough for air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. That’s where aeration comes in. By pulling out small plugs of soil, aeration gives your lawn some breathing room, loosening things up so your grass can grow stronger and healthier. It’s also a great way to tackle thatch buildup. By breaking through that thick layer, nutrients can get right to the roots where they belong. And as for cleaning up the soil plugs, they’ll break down naturally, feeding your lawn in the process.

If you’re dealing with waterlogged spots or struggling to keep your grass looking lush, aeration is the fix you need. Compacted soil stops your lawn from getting what it needs, but once aerated, water, oxygen, and fertilizer will hit the roots fast, giving your grass the best chance to grow thick and green. And with how quickly things grow in British Columbia, your lawn will thank you in no time!

The best time to aerate depends on the climate, and in British Columbia’s cooler conditions, early Spring or early Fall is ideal. Aerating in early Spring allows the lawn to take full advantage of the growing season, while early Fall ensures strong root development before Winter dormancy. In warmer climates, late Spring or early Summer is the optimal window. Aeration must always be done during the active growing season so the grass can recover efficiently, filling in quickly for a healthier, more resilient lawn.
