Aeration & Dethatching

Give Your Lawn Room to Breathe

Over time, soil compacts and thatch builds up, suffocating grass roots and preventing water and nutrients from penetrating the soil. Our aeration & dethatching services restore your lawn’s health by breaking up compaction and removing thatch. Aeration improves oxygen flow to roots, while dethatching eliminates dense organic matter that blocks water and fertilizer.

Our Services

Core Aeration

Using specialized equipment, we remove plugs of soil from your lawn, creating small holes that allow air, water and nutrients to reach the root zone. Aeration reduces soil compaction and encourages deeper root growth.

Power Raking / Dethatching

We use a dethatcher to gently remove layers of thatch—a mix of dead grass, roots and debris—that accumulates between the soil and grass blades. Removing thatch prevents pests and diseases and improves drainage.

Overseeding (Optional)

Following aeration, we can overseed your lawn to introduce new grass varieties and fill bare spots. Seeds germinate easily in the aeration holes.

When to Aerate & Dethatch?

Spring & Fall: Aerate in spring or fall when grass is actively growing and the soil is moist.
Heavy Foot Traffic: Aerate more frequently if your lawn sees heavy use, such as children and pets playing.
Thick Thatch: If your lawn has more than a half‑inch of thatch, dethatching helps prevent problems.

FAQs

Will aeration damage my lawn? No. Core plugs decompose quickly, improving soil structure. The lawn recovers within a week.
How often should aeration be done? Once per year for most lawns; high‑traffic areas may benefit from twice‑yearly aeration.
Do you remove plugs after aeration? We leave plugs on the lawn; they break down naturally and return nutrients to the soil.
