Why Aerate?

Healthier Soil. Stronger Roots. A Better Lawn.

Deep core aeration removes soil plugs from the lawn, relieving compaction and creating the ideal environment for grass roots to grow deeper and stronger.

  • Relieves Compaction

    Opens up compacted soil and improves conditions for root growth.

  • Improves Water Movement

    Creates pore space for better air, water and nutrient infiltration.

  • Helps Manage Thatch

    Brings soil into contact with the thatch layer and encourages natural breakdown.

  • Creates Seed-to-Soil Contact

    The perfect foundation for new grass seed to establish and fill in thin areas.

Fall is the foundation for a better lawn.

Why Fall?

New Jersey's Best Time to Build a Better Lawn.

Cooler nights, moderate daytime temperatures, warmer soil and reduced summer weed competition create ideal conditions for seed germination and establishment. That's why we recommend aeration and seeding every fall for long-term success.

  2. Early Fall
