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.

We accidentally happened upon My Yard Ninja and so happy we did. We were always notified in advance of our upcoming appointments and when work was completed. Our lawn was green, healthy and weed free. I would not hesitate to recommend this business to anyone.Posted on Cathy MorinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dealing with Ken and My yard ninja was great, I have struggled with my lawn (especially front) for the past 5 years after the city came in and has dug it up multiple times. Ken and his team turned things right around and my lawn looked better than it ever has.Posted on Courtney MoorehouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ken at My Yard Ninja did an amazing job with my yard !!!! I did major work in my yard , removed trees from front and backyard, installed sidewalk , built a deck, so my property was more of a mud pit, but Ken took care of that and at a very reasonable price. And to top it off, I'm now the envy of my neighbors!!! 😆 Stop hiring big US company like Tru Green and hire this guy , My Yard Ninja, I know i will again next springPosted on chris godinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazed by the wonderful service of Ken for our yard. Very approachable, nice and professional. And for the price, absolutely bang for your buck, great service!Posted on Eric-Paul Guzman
