Core aeration for Treasure Valley lawns
Help compacted soil breathe again with plug aeration that lets oxygen, water, and nutrients reach the roots where your lawn needs them most.
When we aerate a lawn, we use equipment that removes small plugs of soil and turf. Those plugs are left on the surface to decompose naturally while the new openings help water, air, and nutrients move deeper into the root zone.
Plug aeration helps roots grow deeper, which can produce a stronger lawn that is more resistant to drought, disease, and everyday Treasure Valley wear. For local soil conditions, we recommend aerating in April or May and again in September or the first week of October
We hear plenty of stories about rushed aeration jobs: damaged sprinkler heads, plants, fences, and lawn decorations. Before we aerate, we walk the lawn and flag visible sprinkler heads so they can be avoided when we run the aerator.
We use plug aeration only. We are careful around trees, shrubs, fences, and lawn features, and we focus on giving your lawn the benefit of aeration without unnecessary damage.
We provide lawn aeration services from April through September

Not every aeration method gives your lawn the same result. Here is the difference.
Plug aeration removes cores of grass and soil and leaves them on the surface to break down naturally. This helps moisture, oxygen, and nutrients reach the roots more easily while loosening compacted soil.
This is the only lawn aeration method we use.
Spike aeration pokes holes in the ground with a solid tine or fork. If your soil is already compacted, this can press the soil tighter around each hole instead of relieving compaction.
We do not recommend spike aeration.
Overseeding adds grass seed directly into existing turf. It can help fill bare spots, improve lawn density, and refresh the color of older or thin lawns.
We can overseed while we are there for aeration. We use a blended seed mix that matches most lawns, though a slight color variance is possible.
For our local soil, April and May are good spring options. A second aeration in September or the first week of October can also help keep the lawn healthy.
The plugs stay on the lawn surface and decompose over the next few weeks. As they break down, they return soil and organic matter to the lawn.
Yes. Overseeding can be added during the same visit, which is a good option for thin, bare, or tired-looking lawns.
