Aeration

Improve Lawn Health From the Ground Up

  • Core aeration using professional equipment.

  • Relieves soil compaction for healthier turf.

  • Improves water absorption and sprinkler effectiveness.

  • Enhances nutrient penetration to the root zone.

  • Encourages deeper, stronger root growth.

  • Ideal during spring startup or fall maintenance.

Why core aeration matters on clay soil

Relieves compaction

Foot traffic, mowing, and heavy clay compact soil over time. Pulling cores opens space for air, water, and roots.

Helps every watering count

When watering is limited to certain days and hours, water that runs off compacted soil is wasted. Aeration helps it soak in to the root zone.

Timing

Spring and fall, when cool-season grass is actively growing, are the best times to aerate on the Front Range.

  • Mark sprinkler heads before aerating
  • Water the day before so tines penetrate
  • Leave cores on the lawn to break down

Aeration questions

How often should I aerate my lawn in Denver?

Most lawns benefit from aeration once or twice a year, typically spring and/or fall. Heavily used or clay-heavy lawns benefit most.

Will aeration damage my sprinkler heads?

Not when heads are marked first. Since we service sprinklers too, we know where they are.
