Aeration & Soil Compaction

Over time, lawn soil can become compacted from foot traffic, mowing, weather, and everyday use, making it harder for water, air, and nutrients to reach the grass roots.

Lawn aeration helps relieve this compaction by creating small openings in the soil, allowing the root system to breathe and absorb what it needs to grow stronger.

This section of our Lawn Care Guide will help you understand the signs of compacted soil, how core aeration works, when your lawn should be aerated, and why improving soil conditions can lead to thicker, healthier, and more resilient grass.
