A healthy, green lawn needs more than just water and fertilizer. Lawn aeration is a key part of lawn care that helps grass grow stronger by improving air, water, and nutrient flow to the roots. At Rocky Mountain Lawns, we offer professional core aeration services in Utah, starting at just $49.
What Is Lawn Aeration?
Lawn aeration is the process of perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. Over time, soil becomes compacted due to foot traffic, mowing, and weather conditions, making it harder for grass to get the resources it needs to thrive. Aeration helps relieve this compaction, giving your lawn the space it needs to grow thicker and healthier.
What Is the Process of Lawn Aeration?
Our core aeration process involves using a specialized machine to remove small plugs of soil from the lawn. These plugs, usually about 2-3 inches deep, are left on the surface to break down naturally, returning nutrients back to the soil. The holes created by aeration allow water, air, and fertilizer to penetrate deeper, leading to stronger root growth.
How Often Should You Aerate Your Lawn?
The frequency of aeration depends on soil type, grass condition, and foot traffic. Generally, we recommend:
- Once a year for most lawns – This helps maintain healthy grass and prevent compaction.
- Twice a year for heavily compacted lawns – Lawns with heavy clay soil or frequent foot traffic may need aeration in both spring and fall.
What Are the Benefits of Lawn Aeration?
1. Improves Air and Water Flow
Aeration allows water and oxygen to reach the root zone, helping grass absorb nutrients more effectively.
2. Reduces Soil Compaction
Compact soil prevents roots from expanding. Aeration loosens the soil, giving roots the space they need to grow deeper and stronger.
3. Enhances Fertilizer Effectiveness
When soil is compacted, fertilizer sits on the surface instead of reaching the roots. Aeration ensures that fertilizers penetrate the soil for better absorption.
4. Promotes Thicker, Healthier Grass
With improved root growth and nutrient absorption, your lawn becomes denser and more resistant to drought, disease, and pests.
5. Helps with Thatch Breakdown
Aeration helps break down thatch—a layer of dead grass and roots—allowing the soil to breathe and preventing lawn disease.
