Relieving soil compaction in limited lawn areas

Core Aeration for Small Lawns

Core aeration for small lawns removes soil plugs to improve air, water, and nutrient movement in compacted turf areas.

What Is Core Aeration for Small Lawns?

Core aeration for small lawns involves using mechanical equipment with hollow tines to remove small plugs of soil from the lawn surface. This process creates openings that allow air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots more effectively.

It is commonly used on smaller properties where soil compaction is beginning to affect lawn growth.

Why Core Aeration for Small Lawns Is Used

Why Does Your Lawn Need Proper Care?

Why This Approach Works

Even smaller lawns can develop compacted soil over time. Core aeration helps by:

  • Reducing surface soil compaction

  • Improving water absorption

  • Allowing nutrients to reach roots

  • Supporting healthier root development

This service is often used when early signs of compaction or slow growth appear.
