We offer core aeration in and around Wayne, Bridgewater, and Flemington, NJ.

Your lawn will be aerated with an aerator machine that pulls up plugs of soil from the ground.

If you want your lawn to grow stronger and have more robust roots, you've come to the right place. Our team at Simply The Best Lawns offers our core aeration service to address soil compaction and ensure your grass grows in healthy soil. This service involves using a mechanical aerator machine that removes plugs of soil from the ground to loosen up the hard, packed layer. We perform core aeration from the end of August to October when your lawn is strong enough to endure the process and heal from it before winter. It's also best to pair it with our overseeding service so we can sow grass seeds and encourage new growth for a lusher and thicker turf. Our team offers our core aeration service to commercial and residential properties, as well as HOAs, in Wayne, Bridgewater, Flemington, NJ, and nearby areas.

What does our core aeration service involve?

Aerator tines with soil from a lawn in Wayne, NJ.

Our core aeration service involves passing over your lawn once with our mechanical aerator machine. This machine will remove plugs of soil from the ground to loosen up compaction and create holes that will act as channels for essential nutrients to reach the roots of your grass. Doing this will improve your lawn's nutrient uptake and allow the roots to extend deeper for healthier growth. While we generally only do single-pass aeration, our experts have the discretion to do what is necessary depending on the needs of your lawn.

Our core aeration service is included in our Simply Premier Plan but can be scheduled as an add-on to our other lawn care programs.

When do we perform core aeration?

We offer our core aeration service in the fall season. We perform core aeration from the end of August to October when your cool-season lawn is strong enough to handle the process. Pulling up plugs of soil from the ground using a mechanical aerator machine can cause minimal stress to your lawn, so it's best to have it done in the fall when conditions are ideal for it to tolerate the process. We also do it during these months to ensure your lawn has enough time to recover before it enters winter dormancy.


Pair Core Aeration With Our Overseeding Service for Better Results

If you want to get the best results for your lawn, we recommend pairing core aeration with overseeding. Our overseeding service is only offered when paired with core aeration because these two services complement each other. Overseeding involves spreading a blend of perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass seeds on your lawn to promote new growth that will fill in any thin and bare patches. We will aerate your lawn first to ensure the soil is healthy and can absorb essential resources efficiently. The grass seeds can then fall into the holes we made during aeration where they can get optimal seed-to-soil contact. This way, they have access to the resources they need to germinate and grow into beautiful, green grass.
