Lawn Care & Turf

Core aeration that lets compacted soil breathe

Hollow tines pull plugs from the lawn, opening the soil to air, water and nutrients so roots grow deeper and turf thickens.

Core Aeration

Much of Middle Tennessee sits on dense clay that compacts under foot traffic, mowers and construction. Water runs off, roots stay shallow and the lawn thins even when you do everything else right.

Core aeration relieves that compaction. We pull small plugs from your lawn with a commercial aerator, leaving channels that let air, water and fertilizer reach the roots. In Nashville the best window for fescue is early fall, paired with overseeding.

FAQ

Common questions about core aeration

When is the best time to aerate?

Early fall for tall fescue, and late spring to early summer for bermuda and zoysia.

They break down in a couple of weeks and return nutrients to the lawn.

How often should I aerate?

Most lawns benefit once a year, and compacted soils sometimes twice.
