A healthier lawn starts with the right approach.
Foot traffic, mowing equipment, weather, and naturally dense soil can compress the ground beneath your lawn. Professional core aeration in Somers, CT removes small plugs of soil to create channels for air, water, and nutrients, helping turf roots grow in a less restricted environment.
Aeration is especially useful where soil feels hard, water runs off instead of soaking in, or grass struggles despite regular care. It can also improve seed-to-soil contact when paired with overseeding. We time aeration around turf growth and property conditions so the lawn can recover and take advantage of the opened root zone.

Frequently asked questions
Lawn Aeration FAQs
What is core lawn aeration?
Core aeration uses hollow tines to remove small plugs of soil and thatch. The openings reduce compaction and improve exchange of air and water around turf roots.
How often should a lawn be aerated?
Many lawns benefit annually, while lightly used lawns with good soil may need it less often. Heavy clay, traffic, and recurring compaction can justify a more consistent schedule.
Should aeration be combined with overseeding?
Often, yes. The openings improve seed-to-soil contact and create favorable places for germination, making aeration and overseeding a useful combination for thin lawns.
Should the soil plugs be removed?
No. Leave the plugs on the lawn. They break apart naturally through rainfall, mowing, and normal activity, returning soil and microorganisms to the surface.
