How to Prepare Your Lawn for Aeration

If you want a thick, green, and healthy lawn in Colorado, aeration is one of the best things you can do. At Rocky Mountain Lawns, we make it easy with our comprehensive aeration packages—designed for the unique needs of local lawns. Here’s everything you need to know to get the most out of your next aeration service.

Getting your lawn ready for aeration is simple, but a little preparation goes a long way:

Water Your Lawn:

Water your lawn thoroughly the day before your scheduled aeration. Moist soil makes it easier for the aerator to pull out soil plugs, giving you better results.

Mow Your Grass:

Mow your lawn to a normal height before the service. Shorter grass helps the aeration machine work more effectively.

Mark Sprinkler Heads and Obstacles:

Use flags or markers to show where sprinkler heads, shallow cables, or other obstacles are in your yard. This helps our crew avoid them during aeration.

Clear Debris:

Remove toys, branches, and any other items from your lawn to ensure a smooth, thorough aeration.

Let Us Know About Special Concerns:

If you have any areas that need extra attention, let us know when you schedule your service.

How Often Should You Aerate Your Lawn?

In Colorado, we recommend aerating your lawn at least once a year—ideally in the spring or fall. If your soil is especially compacted or your lawn sees heavy use, aerating twice a year can help keep your grass healthy and strong.
