Core Aeration

What Is Core Aeration for a Lawn?

By punching small holes into compacted soil, our core aeration treatment allows better water, air, and nutrient intake so grass roots can grow deeper. It relieves soil compaction which restricts root development and grass growth. The improved soil environment fuels a lush, healthy lawn.
 

Why Choose Lawn Core Aeration?

 
  • Enhances Root Growth: Promotes deeper root expansion, resulting in a stronger and more long-lasting lawn.
  • Improves Water Absorption: Reduces runoff and enhances soil moisture retention for healthier turf.
  • Reduces Thatch Buildup: Prevents excessive thatch accumulation, allowing better air and nutrient circulation.
  • Boosts Nutrient Intake: Facilitates the efficient delivery of essential nutrients to grassroots, improving overall lawn health.

Premium Core Aeration & Overseeding Services

We continue to offer our Core Aeration Services in the Spring and Fall to reduce soil compaction and enhance air and water penetration to your lawn’s roots. Aeration is especially beneficial when combined with overseeding, which introduces grass seed to an existing lawn. When done immediately after aerating, the new seed gets direct seed-to-soil contact, enhancing turf density and introducing improved grass varieties.
 
This process also boosts lawn colour and helps prevent weed infestation. For optimal results, we combined aeration and overseeding with our custom KNK blend of fall fertilizer. This combination is the key to achieving a healthier, thicker, and more resilient lawn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Core aeration is the method of removing small soil plugs from the lawn to reduce compaction, allowing water, oxygen, and nutrients to access the roots for healthier growth.

Most lawns benefit from core aeration once a year, typically in the fall or spring, depending on soil conditions and grass type.

Core aeration improves root growth, enhances water absorption, reduces soil compaction, minimizes thatch buildup, and boosts overall lawn health.

A lawn core aerator removes small plugs of soil from the ground, creating pathways for water, air, and essential nutrients to penetrate the root zone.

Overseeding is the process of spreading new grass seed to an existing lawn to thicken thin areas, enhance lawn density, and improve colour and texture.

The best time to aerate and overseed is in early fall or spring when temperatures support grass seed germination and recovery.

While overseeding alone can help thicken your lawn, aeration creates optimal conditions for seed-to-soil contact, increasing germination rates and growth.

Fall is the best time to overseed because the soil is still warm, and cool-season grasses establish well before winter. Spring overseeding is also effective but requires more watering due to warmer temperatures.

The best seed depends on your lawn type. Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and perennial ryegrass are great for overseeding in temperate climates.

Maintain consistent moisture without overwatering, minimize foot traffic, and mow at a higher setting to promote strong and healthy growth.
