Lawn Aeration Services

Tuff Lawn’s Affordable Lawn Aeration Services provides both liquid aeration and core aeration.

Aeration helps provide lower compaction, improve drainage and allow water and nutrients to reach the roots.

What Is Lawn Aeration?

Lawn aeration is crucial for maintaining and enhancing your lawn and should be done annually. In fact, many golf courses aerate their greens two to three times a year! This service offers numerous benefits and is a vital “cultural practice” for keeping your lawn in top shape.
Also known as “core aeration,” this process involves removing 1/2″ wide, 3″ deep soil cores from your lawn at regular intervals. Aeration helps relieve soil compaction and reduces thatch build-up. By creating these open spaces, water can penetrate the root zone more effectively, and air exchange improves, promoting better overall lawn health.

Benefits of Lawn Aeration

Lawn aeration offers numerous benefits and is regarded as a crucial “cultural practice” for maintaining a healthy lawn. Known more precisely as “core aeration,” this method involves extracting 1/2″ wide, 3″ deep soil cores from your lawn at regular intervals. This process alleviates soil compaction and reduces thatch build-up. By creating these openings, water can penetrate more effectively to the root zone, and air exchange is improved, enhancing the overall health of your lawn. At Tuff Lawn, we suggest incorporating annual aeration into our comprehensive lawn care program.

Core Vs. Liquid Aeration

Core Aeration: Core aeration promotes a healthier and denser turf by allowing the root system to expand and thicken. By extracting soil cores and reducing thatch levels, the lawn can better “breathe” and more effectively absorb water, air, and nutrients. This process revitalizes your lawn’s health and color. When combined with overseeding and ongoing fertilization, your lawn will become healthier, thicker, and better at crowding out weeds.
Tuff Lawn’s core aeration service offers several advantages: you avoid the hassle of renting, transporting, and operating a heavy aeration machine, which can be physically demanding. Aeration alleviates soil compaction and reduces thatch, enhancing your lawn’s ability to “breathe” and improving water and air penetration to the roots. These benefits enhance the effectiveness of your Tuff Lawn lawn program and contribute to overall lawn health.

Liquid Aeration: Liquid aeration is a relatively new process that can supplement or even replace what is known as “Mechanical Core Aeration”. While the benefits of core aeration are widely known, liquid aeration is a process using a mix of specially designed products that offer the same results without the mess of soil cores left on your lawn or potential damage to electric dog fences or irrigation heads. It also is easier to perform, less costly to you as a consumer and fits especially well on lawns with limited access due to fences or elevation changes.
Imagine getting your hilly or steep lawn aerated now when you or your lawn service company couldn’t safely use their machine! Our liquid aeration service loosens the soil and allows for improved air movement, water infiltration, and better utilization of the fertilizer and other products used by Tuff Lawn

Annual Aeration Programs

At Tuff Lawn, we recommend annual aeration as part of our comprehensive lawn care program, using either Liquid or Traditional/Mechanical Core Aeration.

Aeration, regardless of the method, is highly beneficial for your lawn. At Tuff Lawn, we suggest aerating your lawn every year. Our new Liquid Aeration service offers a top-tier option, allowing you to alternate between liquid aeration one year and mechanical core aeration the next. This approach ensures your lawn benefits from both methods, maintaining its peak appearance, health, and performance!
