Breathe New Life Into Your Lawn With Core Aeration

At AMES Landscaping, we take immense pride in offering our specialized professional core aeration services, meticulously designed to help your lawn thrive sustainably from the roots up. Core aeration is a vital and effective process that involves the mechanical removal of small plugs of soil from various areas of your lawn, which works to significantly reduce soil compaction that can hinder growth. This innovative technique enhances the flow of air, water, and essential nutrients directly to your grassroots, thus promoting a healthier and more robust growth environment. The result? A thicker, lusher lawn that is not only healthy but also resilient, displaying its vibrant green hues through every season of the year. With our extensive expertise and commitment to quality, we ensure that your lawn receives the exceptional care it needs to truly flourish, making it the proud envy of your neighborhood and a beautiful oasis for you and your family to enjoy.

What Is Core Aeration?

Core aeration is a powerful lawn care technique that opens up your soil by extracting cylindrical plugs, or “cores,” from the ground. These small holes relieve compaction, break up thatch, and allow vital elements like oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach deeper into the root zone. Over time, this encourages stronger root development and promotes a greener, lusher lawn.

Benefits of Core Aeration

Core aeration is one of the most effective ways to revitalize your lawn. By removing small plugs of soil, this process breaks up compacted ground, improves nutrient absorption, and strengthens your grass at the root. Whether you're preparing for overseeding or simply want greener, thicker turf, core aeration provides long-lasting results that promote a healthier, more resilient lawn.

  • Improves Soil Health – Allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone.
  • Reduces Soil Compaction – Loosens tough soil for better root expansion and growth.
  • Enhances Fertilizer Efficiency – Maximizes the impact of fertilization and seeding.
  • Breaks Down Thatch – Naturally reduces the layer of thatch that can suffocate your lawn.
  • Boosts Grass Density – Encourages thicker, lusher, and greener grass.
  • Improves Water Absorption – Prevents runoff and promotes better moisture retention.
  • Strengthens Root Systems – Promotes deep root growth for a hardier, drought-resistant lawn.

Our Aeration Process

At AMES Landscaping, we take a detailed approach to lawn aeration, ensuring your grass gets the nourishment it needs to thrive. Our process enhances soil health, boosts thickness, and delivers lasting results. We start with an evaluation of your lawn's condition, then use expert aeration techniques to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep. After aeration, we provide follow-up care to ensure optimal growth. Throughout, we treat your lawn with the utmost care, helping it flourish beautifully.

Lawn Assessment

We begin by evaluating your lawn’s condition, identifying compacted areas, and determining the ideal timing to ensure core aeration delivers maximum results for soil health and grass recovery.

Precision Plug Removal

Using specialized equipment, we extract evenly spaced soil plugs from your lawn, loosening compacted areas and creating channels that improve airflow, nutrient delivery, and water absorption directly into the root zone.

Cleanup and Monitoring

After aeration, we perform light cleanup if needed and provide guidance on post-aeration care to maximize recovery, such as watering, overseeding, or applying fertilizer for deeper root development.

Continued Lawn Care Support

We don’t stop at aeration. Our team offers ongoing support with tailored maintenance tips and additional services to keep your lawn thriving throughout every season of the year.
