Core Aeration

Help Compacted Soil Breathe Again

Regular foot traffic, mowing equipment, heavy clay, and seasonal weather can compress soil over time. Compacted soil limits the movement of water and oxygen, leaving grass roots shallow and making it harder for the lawn to recover from heat, drought, and everyday wear.

T&M Landscaping provides core aeration for residential and small commercial lawns. A core aerator removes small plugs of soil and thatch, creating openings that reduce compaction and improve access to the root zone.

The soil plugs are normally left on the lawn to break down naturally. Aeration can also improve seed-to-soil contact, which is why it pairs especially well with overseeding.

What Our Core Aeration Service Includes

Lawn and Access Review

We review lawn size, slopes, gates, visible obstacles, and any known shallow irrigation or utility features before operating equipment.

Professional Plug Aeration

The lawn is aerated with equipment that removes small soil cores across accessible turf areas to reduce compaction.

Post-Service Guidance

We explain what to expect from the soil plugs and provide practical guidance for watering, mowing, and optional overseeding after service.

Why Core Aeration Matters

How Core Aeration Works

We confirm accessible lawn areas and ask you to identify shallow irrigation lines, invisible pet fences, or other underground features that need to be avoided.

Aerate the Lawn

Our crew makes systematic passes across the turf to create consistent soil openings without unnecessary overlap.

Leave the Cores to Break Down

The plugs remain on the surface and gradually return organic material to the lawn as they break apart through watering and mowing.
