Relieves Soil Compaction
Over time, foot traffic and mowing compact your soil, making it hard for roots to grow. Aeration breaks up that compaction so your grass can thrive.
This is How You Win the Neighbourhood
Over time, foot traffic and mowing compact your soil, making it hard for roots to grow. Aeration breaks up that compaction so your grass can thrive.
By improving root development and encouraging stronger growth, aeration will set you up for a healthy lawn that can withstand common turfgrass stressors, such as drought, weed pressure, and foot traffic.
Protect your investment! A well-aerated lawn is more likely to stand up to lawn-killing pests, weeds, and diseases.
Aeration breaks down layers of thatch (dead grass and organic material) that suffocate healthy turf.
Aeration creates the perfect conditions for overseeding, fertilizer applications, and long-term lawn health.
By creating a stronger, healthier growing environment, aeration leads to a greener, more uniform lawn that stands out in the neighbourhood.
Over time, compacted soil and thatch can prevent your lawn from getting the air, water, and nutrients it needs.
Weed Man’s professional lawn aeration service helps your grass breathe, grow deeper roots, and absorb nutrients more effectively. Without it, compacted soil can choke out healthy root growth.
Whether you're prepping for spring growth or repairing summer stress, aeration is one of the best steps you can take toward a greener, healthier lawn.
In general, we recommend that you bring in a lawn aerator at least once a year, either in the spring or in the fall. Cool-season lawns benefit most from fall aeration, while warm-season lawns thrive with spring aeration.
Using specialized equipment, aeration pulls out small plugs of soil, opening channels that allow air, water, and nutrients to reach your grass roots. These plugs (or “cores”) are left on the surface of the lawn until they break down naturally.
Benefits include:
You may notice small plugs of soil on the surface of your lawn for a short time after an aeration service, but these nutrient-dense cores will break down quickly and disappear. The long-term payoff is a healthier, thicker, greener lawn.
Should you aerate once or twice a year? That all depends on a number of factors, such as:
Under normal circumstances, aerating once annually will be sufficient, but you may consider aeration twice a year if your lawn is impacted by any of the following conditions:

This is my first year using a lawn service company for my weeds. I was skeptical at first but whatever they did to my lawn worked. The advice they gave me about what I could do to help keep the lawn looking great from watering to length of cut really helped. I had several people comment on how great it looked. I called in a few times with questions about my lawn care. By far the best customer service people I've dealt with in a long time. Great people. Highly recommend.

This team is great. What appears to be a quick come and gone application, is from experience and a good eye. The moss control and fertilizer application has greatly improved the rich green colour. The aeration and overseeding has filled in those mole hills from last year's damage. Tegjot has requested a second weed control spray to get that pesky buttercup under control. Nearly 20 year of neglect is a work in progress, but already looks so much better.. Thank you.

This is the second season that Weed Man, Dartmouth has been taking care of my lawn. I would recommend this company because the staff are knowledgeable, a pleasure to deal with, and they care about what they do. It is always easy to contact them, which is such a bonus these days. They provide timely updates on upcoming and completed services. A great company for lawn care.
