How Our Lawn Aeration Services Work
Regular aeration is vital for a healthy lawn. Lawn aeration in Northern Illinois is particularly beneficial since we experience all four seasons, which impacts the soil and lawn in more than a few ways. The benefits of annual lawn aeration include:
- Reduces thatch buildup, preventing suffocation.
- Relieves compaction for deeper root growth.
- Enhances water and fertilizer penetration.
- Improves airflow and facilitates deeper water infiltration.
When paired with our Lawn Care Program, core aeration maximizes your investment. It’s also recommended before overseeding , as the holes foster better seed-to-soil contact—which is important for proper seed germination and establishment.
Using a professional aerator machine, the Green Acres team removes thousands of small soil cores (1” to 3”) from your lawn, creating tiny holes that allow better penetration of air, moisture, and nutrients to your lawn’s roots. Depending on the size of your lawn, one of our team members will be on your property for 15 minutes to an hour.
After completing the aeration process, our team will provide you with personalized suggestions and tips to ensure your lawn thrives. This may include recommendations on watering schedules, fertilization, and maintenance practices tailored to your lawn’s specific needs. By choosing our lawn aeration service, you take a significant step toward achieving a healthier and more vibrant outdoor space!
Note: Before your aeration service, please mark sprinkler heads, irrigation lines, and other underground utilities to avoid damage. Watering the lawn a day before softens the soil for easier plug removal. After aeration, let the core plugs break down; they release nutrients back into the lawn over time. Seeding and fertilization after aeration will help your lawn recover from any initial stress.
