Providing Lawn Aeration Services

Aeration can be the difference between a lawn looking lush and lasting through the summer and autumn months – and one that never quite looks up to scratch. Core aeration ensures that air and water circulation are optimized, dead thatch is removed, and new growth is stimulated. It works great with lawn fertilization services to give you a beautiful, healthy lawn throughout the season. A few simple steps are all it takes to get your lawn ready for healthy growth in the months ahead, creating a thick, luscious green grass that all the family can enjoy all summer.

Why Is It Important To Aerate Your Lawn?

Aerating your lawn, also known as core aeration, is crucial for its growth and vitality. Compacted soil deprives grass roots of essential oxygen and water, hindering their development. By aerating, you address this issue and promote overall lawn health. Benefits of Lawn Aeration:
  • Breaks through thatch and eliminates layering
  • Stimulates thatch breakdown
  • Relieves soil compaction
  • Enhances air exchange with roots
  • Stimulates new growth
  • Reduces puddles and improves water efficiency
  • Enhances fertilizer uptake and drought stress tolerance
  • Improves turf resilience and appearance
Aerating your lawn not only helps it resist drought and weeds but also enhances its overall beauty. Whether you have a residential or commercial property in Calgary or Edmonton, maintaining a well-kept lawn is crucial for curb appeal. Our experienced Michael brothers team can provide the expertise and services you need to achieve a picture-perfect lawn.

Frequently Asked Questions: Aeration and Overseeding

We often get asked about aeration and overseeding. Overseeding is the process of spreading grass seed directly onto the lawn without removing any old sod. This can help to fill in bare patches and improve the thickness and colour of the lawn.

Does aeration and overseeding work?

Yes, overseeding after aeration makes sense. If you have yellowish discolouration of the lawn because of dog urination, it’s best to neutralize the soil around the yellow spots first and then proceed with the overseeding.

When should you aerate and overseed?

This should be done in the first few weeks of the growing season. After the ground has thawed out and is still moist, it’s a great time to aerate the lawn. Overseeding can be done after the aeration process is complete, and if the rains arrive that’s fine as the seeds will love the water.

How do I overseed my lawn after aeration?

After the aeration process is complete, we distribute the seeds on the existing lawn areas and apply a top dressing of soil to protect them from blowing away in the wind or birds eating them. Watering is very important once the seeding has been applied. You will need to water the areas at least four or five times per week to stimulate the germination process.
