Aeration Services
Compacted soil is a major
contributor to poor root
development in many Florida
lawns - and poor root
development prevents a healthy
growth of thick, dark green
grass. Soil compaction is a
natural process caused by many
factors including normal traffic
use from pets, kids, lawn
equipment and many other typical
uses. Another major factor is
the standard Florida builder
practice of installing sod over
a heavy, dense clay soil base.
Annual aeration is a highly
effective method of fixing the
problems of compacted soil and
promoting healthy root growth
that leads to beautiful lawns.
Our technicians will carefully
inspect your lawn for shading,
soil type, tree and plant root
systems, locate irrigation heads
and pipes. And any other issues
affecting your lawn’s soil
compaction After the inspection
the technician will aerate your
property by going over the
entire lawn with a commercial
machine used to penetrate the
soil surface and remove
thousands of small cylindrical
slugs of soil that are then
deposited on the surface of the
lawn. These slugs of removed
soil open pathways to the root
system and the small soil slugs
deposited on the surface will
breakdown over the next couple
of weeks and re-enter the lawn’s
ecosystem. 
Aeration’s benefits include:
- Increase the activity of soil
microorganisms that decompose
thatch.
- Increase water, nutrient and
oxygen movement into the soil.
- Improve root penetration and
allow for a better root system
- Enhance saturation of rainfall
or irrigation, allowing for
deeper penetration
- Help prevent fertilizer and
pesticide run-off from overly
compacted areas.
The most important benefit of
aeration however, is the
satisfaction of having a thick,
rich carpet of healthy grass.
