Core Aeration

Why Aerate Your Lawn?

When the particles in the top four inches of the soil layer become tightly compressed, the movement of air, water, and nutrients to the root system of your turf is hampered. The compacted soil can contribute to the accumulation of thatch (a build-up of organic matter beneath the blades of the grass but above the soil), can cause poor drainage, and generally stresses the lawn. If left unchecked, soil compaction weakens your lawn’s root system and makes your lawn more susceptible to pests, weeds, and disease.

The process of core aeration involves using a machine that uses hollow tines to punch holes in the turf and remove small cores (cylindrical volumes of soil). This creates channels through which water, air, and nutrients can penetrate the soil.

The Many Benefits of Core Aeration

Improved root systems. By reducing soil compaction and improving pore space, core aeration increases pore spaces in the soil which improves root growth and root depth.
Improved irrigation. Because aeration allows water to infiltrate into the soil easier and faster, it reduces runoff and puddling and increases the efficiency and effectiveness of your irrigation practices.
Reduced thatch. Since compacted and/or poorly drained soils are prone to excessive thatch, the improved drainage from core aeration can help with thatch problems.
Increased microbial activity. Soil microbial activity is very important to the maintenance of healthy turfgrass (and discouraging excess thatch.) A healthy microbial population requires sufficient oxygen and water penetration, both of which are improved through aeration of the soil.

Professional lawn care can help you achieve thick, healthy turf with vibrant color. SavATree’s lawn experts are ready to help, whether you need to treat your existing lawn, have problems growing grass, or just want to learn more about SavATree service options.

Fantastic experience. Some of the tree trimmer companies that came by just said “that tree needs to come out”. With Savatree they sent Logan, an actual arborist, to come review the tree. We came up with a plan that worked best for the tree and then the team executed. Everything was performed perfectly, even in the rain! Pricing was very reasonable. Also important to me is the fact that every...

Hannah and her crew were excellent. She was very responsive to our phone calls and arrived on time to give direction to her team. The team works quickly to prune our Monterey Pine trees which are well over 100 ft tall. We did not have any damage from falling tree limbs. Most importantly, the team did an excellent job of clean up when they were finished. We will use Save-a tree again in...

SavATree did a fantastic job of cleaning out the dead branches from 3 of our giant Douglas Firs. The bid was very competitive, the arborist was very knowledgeable, the crew followed all safety measures and protected the garden below. They cleaned up very well. All the mess was chipped up and taken away. I even used the deep-root fertilization service These trees need to live a very long...

The entire process of Guy coming out to assess the project and providing a cost competitive estimate to the actual crew who did the work was terrific. The removal/pruning of the trees was well done - as expected! The crew was willing to listen to requests while the trees were being pruned. This simple interaction and the "clean up" afterwards is something that sets this company apart from...

We engaged SavATree to prune two large trees in our yard. The pruning was perfect and done in a way that helps the health of both trees. They also provided much needed nutrients to several bushes. The Team is clearly very knowledgeable about the health and life of trees and other shrubs; they were incredibly responsive to taking care of our trees in a very timely manner. I especially...

What can I say, but “Wow!!!” So impressed by SavATree. Living in 100+ year old house, we are very sensitive and cognizant of who works on our property. Everyone from Marissa and William and his team were extraordinary when it came to working on our trees. Communication and professionalism were exceptional before they started and throughout the actual work. The cleanup was also impressive. They...

Eric and his team were amazing. We have a huge protected oak tree that requires major maintenance every few years. It requires the expertise of an arborist, and to complicate matters we have filled it with fragile decorations as well as a ton of yard decor on the ground. Eric assured us he could complete the job without any damage to our house and our decorations. He was communicative,...

Best tree service and team possible. I had a “tree emergency” and I called Tyler. Team was there the next morning and it took 2 full days. They tidied everything up and I highly recommend them. They also do my tree maintenance, outstanding company.

Matthew did the initial interview and quote, Angel and Jesus did more than a day’s work in one day. They did exactly what I asked, no damage to any understory plants, and very esthetic final product. Very pleased, I recommend and will use them in the future.
