What’s Included in Our Aeration Service
Over time, soil gets compacted. When that happens, grass roots can’t get the air, water, and nutrients they need to grow deep and strong. At GreenPride Lawn Care, our aeration service gives your lawn a reset by opening up the soil and helping it breathe again.
1. Lawn Inspection
Before we start, we take a look at your lawn to make sure aeration is the right move. We look for signs like thin grass, hard soil, standing water, or heavy thatch. If your lawn gets a lot of foot traffic or hasn’t been aerated in a while, chances are it’s ready.
2. Core Aeration Process
We use a professional core aerator to pull small plugs of soil from the lawn, usually about 2 to 3 inches deep. These little holes allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone. It also helps the roots spread out and grow deeper, which makes the lawn more drought-resistant and less prone to disease.
3. Leave the Plugs
After aeration, we leave the soil plugs on top of the grass. They’ll break down naturally over the next week or two and return nutrients to the soil. No need to rake or bag them.
4. Best Times to Aerate
In Colorado Springs, the best time to aerate cool-season lawns is usually spring or early fall when the grass is actively growing. This helps it recover faster and fill in the holes quickly.
5. Optional Add-Ons
Aeration pairs well with overseeding or compost topdressing. If you’re already planning to improve your lawn, this is the perfect time to do it.
Aeration might not look pretty when it’s done, but it gives your lawn the fresh start it needs from the roots up.
Benefits of Our Aeration Service
Over time, lawns get compacted from foot traffic, weather, and regular use. That makes it harder for water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots. Our aeration service opens up the soil and gives your grass room to breathe and grow.
- Loosens compacted soil
When soil gets packed down, roots struggle to grow. Aeration pulls small plugs from the lawn, allowing air and moisture to reach deeper into the ground. - Improves water and nutrient flow
After aeration, water soaks in more evenly and nutrients reach the roots instead of running off the surface. This leads to stronger, healthier grass over time. - Encourages deeper root growth
With less pressure around them, grass roots can grow deeper. That helps your lawn stay green longer during dry spells and bounce back quicker after stress. - Boosts results of other services
Aeration pairs well with overseeding, fertilizing, or top dressing. By opening up the soil, it gives seed and nutrients a better chance to take hold and work more effectively. - Helps reduce thatch buildup
Aeration breaks through the thatch layer and gives microbes a chance to break it down naturally, improving soil health and reducing disease risk.
If your lawn feels hard, looks patchy, or just isn’t growing like it used to, aeration can help reset things. It’s one of the simplest ways to improve your lawn from the roots up, and we make sure it’s done right every time.
