PROFESSIONAL LAWN AERATION SERVICES FOR A HEALTHIER LAWN

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.

Thicker, Stronger, Healthier

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.

Boosts Nutrient & Water Uptake

Protect your investment! A well-aerated lawn is more likely to stand up to lawn-killing pests, weeds, and diseases.

Reduces Thatch Buildup

Aeration breaks down layers of thatch (dead grass and organic material) that suffocate healthy turf.

Prepares Your Lawn for Success

Aeration creates the perfect conditions for overseeding, fertilizer applications, and long-term lawn health.

Improves Lawn Appearance

By creating a stronger, healthier growing environment, aeration leads to a greener, more uniform lawn that stands out in the neighborhood.

Why Should I Aerate My Lawn?

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.

When Should I Aerate?

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.

What Does Aeration Actually Do?

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:

  • Reduced soil compaction
  • Better root growth
  • Improved movement of nutrients, water, and air throughout the lawn
  • Removal of excessive thatch
  • Natural, nutrient-rich top dressing for the lawn
  • Enhanced stress tolerance
Will My Lawn Look Different After Aeration?

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.

How Often Should I Aerate My Lawn?

Should you aerate once or twice a year? That all depends on a number of factors, such as:

  • The area you live in
  • The recent weather in that area
  • The condition of your lawn before aeration
  • Your specific lawn care goals

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:

  • Thick layers of thatch or heavily compacted soil, such as clay
  • Recent drought conditions
  • Recovering from disease or insect damage

I've been with Weed Man for 2 years or more and man they have been very helpful. Being a working mom and having 50 million things to do and one of them is not having to worry about my lawn because I know Weed Man will take care of it. I was always trying to find new ingredients to help with the weeds in my lawn and how time consuming it was, now I just wait for Weed Man to put me on their schedule. The price to me is reasonable for the service they provide.

Weed Man Billings, MT

The Weed Man has successfully eradicated an enormous number of weeds in my backyard with their initial treatment. I have found the Weed Man to be exceptionally responsive to any requests that I have made. The service is competent and very friendly. I highly recommend this company! Post Season follow-up: Throughout the season (It is now mid-September), the Weed Man technician, Damien, provided excellent service and was immediately responsive to all of my requests. If there were a couple of instances of a weed or two reappearing, he gladly stopped by to treat it. It has been a pleasure using Weed Man, and I absolutely recommend its services to anyone with a weed issue. I will continue to use Weed Man on an annual basis.
