Benefits of Lawn Aeration Service from Evo Lawn & Landscape
Reduced Soil Compaction
Lawn aeration breaks up hard-packed soil. Foot traffic across your lawn compacts the ground and makes it more difficult for grass to thrive. Kids, dogs, deer, mail carriers, cars, construction equipment, your walk to get the morning paper—all of these can compact your lawn.
Turf Root Growth
As grass establishes itself in your lawn, its root system can create a highly impermeable network of roots. This limits your lawn's potential. Evo Lawn & Landscape aeration service punches holes through established turf and encourages new and deep grass growth.
Air and Water Penetration
Lawn aeration breaks through both heavy thatch that develops in some lawns, as well as the soil itself, to provide a pathway for air and water to reach deeper into your lawn. This promotes a healthy lawn by allowing air and water to get to where grass needs them most: the roots.
Nutrient Uptake
The plugs, or cores, of soil that lawn aeration deposits on the surface of your lawn break down and end up feeding your lawn. The nutrients released by microbes breaking down the plugs make their way down the aeration holes to feed grass at the roots.
Microbial Activity
Aeration stimulates microbial activity in your lawn. Microbes within your lawn are brought to the surface and then feast on the deposited soil cores. In doing so, the microbes break down the soil cores into their nutrient components, which are then available to nourish your lawn grass.
What Is Lawn Aeration?
Lawn aeration is the process of removing small cores of soil from a lawn so that air, water, and nutrients can reach further down to grass roots through the newly punched holes. A mechanical aerator—which looks similar to a lawn mower—is driven over the lawn and its set of rotating hollow tubes are pushed into the ground to remove soil cores and thereby aerate the lawn.
Is It Worth It To Aerate Your Lawn?
Lawn aeration is a natural, cultural practice that can give you a thick, carpet-like lawn without the use of chemicals (which are often expensive monetarily and environmentally). In other words, yes, we believe it is worth it to aerate your lawn because it facilitates strong turf growth that crowds out weeds without spreading foreign substances on your lawn.
How Much Does It Cost To Aerate My Lawn?
Each lawn is a unique ecosystem of soil, plants, water, and sun. It's best to get a customized quote based on your specific lawn care needs.
When Should I Aerate My Lawn?
You should aerate your lawn in the season ahead of its prime growing period. For cool-season grasses—like Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue—that means aerating in the fall. For warm-season grasses—such as zoysiagress and bermudagrass—aerating in the late spring or early summer is best. We recommend getting a lawn care consultation in the spring to assess your lawn care needs for the coming year.
Why Should I Aerate My Lawn?
Aeration (or core aeration) is a lawn care treatment that will help improve the recycling flow of air, water and nutrients to your soil and grass plants.
The lawn aeration service process leaves small plugs of thatch and soil on the lawn. These plugs will decompose in a few weeks with normal mowing, watering and rainfall. The process of nutrient recycling within the soil will continue, because the plugs contain microorganisms that help control the buildup of thatch tissue, all resulting in better turf response.
This, in turn, will help to rejuvenate your grass by allowing the roots to grow deeper, creating healthier grass plants, and keeping your lawn thicker and greener.
Remember, aerating your lawn can:
Reduce soil compaction
Stimulate root growth
Increase air and water penetration
Improve nutrient uptake via the root system
Help stimulate microbial activity

Identifying Signs Your Lawn Needs Aeration
A healthy lawn is the pride of any homeowner, but sometimes your grass needs a little extra help to stay lush and vibrant. Aeration is a key aspect of lawn care. Knowing when your lawn needs aeration is crucial. Here are some telltale signs:
Compacted Soil
Hard Ground: If your lawn feels hard to the touch or you find it difficult to insert a screwdriver or similar tool into the soil, it's a sign of compaction.
Heavy Foot Traffic: Lawns with frequent foot traffic, such as play areas or paths, are more prone to compaction and often require regular aeration.
Water Runoff or Pooling
Poor Water Absorption: After watering or rainfall, if you notice water pooling or running off quickly, it indicates that the water isn't penetrating the soil effectively, a common issue resolved by aeration.
Thinning Grass or Bare Patches
Uneven Growth: Areas of thinning grass or bare patches amidst otherwise healthy growth can be a symptom of compacted soil, which restricts root expansion and nutrient uptake.
Excessive Thatch
Thick Thatch Layer: A thatch layer thicker than one-half inch is a sign your lawn might benefit from aeration. Thatch is a layer of organic matter between the grass and soil; when too thick, it hinders water, air, and nutrients from reaching the soil.
Lawn Stress
Discoloration and Weakness: If your lawn looks stressed, discolored, or weak despite proper watering and fertilization, it might be struggling due to compacted soil or excessive thatch.
