Over time, soil becomes compacted, limiting air, water, and nutrients. Our core aeration service opens up the soil, encouraging deeper root growth and a more resilient lawn.

Core Aeration Services in West Bend, WI

Revive Your Lawn from the Ground Up

Over time, soil naturally becomes compacted due to foot traffic, mowing, rainfall, and general use. This compaction makes it difficult for grass roots to access the air, water, and nutrients they need to thrive. At Turf & Tree Worx, our professional core aeration services in West Bend, WI are designed to relieve soil compaction, improve turf health, and set your lawn up for long-term success.

If your lawn feels hard, water pools on the surface, or the grass looks thin and weak, it’s time to consider aeration. Our team brings years of expertise and top-quality equipment to restore vitality to your soil—and your lawn.

What Is Core Aeration?

Core aeration involves the use of a specialized machine that removes small plugs (or “cores”) of soil from your lawn, creating holes that allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone. Unlike spike aeration, which simply pokes holes, core aeration actually removes plugs of soil, breaking up compaction and encouraging stronger, deeper root systems.

The benefits of core aeration are numerous and long-lasting:

  • Improves air exchange between soil and atmosphere
  • Enhances water uptake and fertilizer effectiveness
  • Stimulates new root growth and thickens turf
  • Reduces thatch buildup and compaction
  • Promotes drought and disease resistance

When Should You Aerate Your Lawn?

In West Bend and surrounding areas, the best time to aerate your lawn depends on your grass type. Cool-season grasses (like Kentucky bluegrass or fescue) benefit most from aeration in early fall or spring, when the grass is actively growing and can recover quickly.

We recommend aerating at least once per year for most residential and commercial lawns—especially if:

  • The lawn sees heavy foot or equipment traffic
  • Your soil is clay-heavy and prone to compaction
  • Your lawn is struggling despite regular care
  • You notice puddling water or poor drainage
  • Your turf feels spongy or looks thin

Our team can evaluate your lawn and recommend the ideal aeration schedule based on your soil type and growing conditions.

Our Core Aeration Process

Turf & Tree Worx uses professional-grade aeration equipment to ensure consistent, effective results. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Lawn evaluation: We assess your soil, grass health, and any problem areas before treatment.
  2. Aeration service: Our team runs the aerator across your lawn in a crosshatch pattern, removing thousands of soil plugs.
  3. Cleanup and tips: The plugs are left on your lawn to naturally decompose and return nutrients to the soil.
  4. Optional enhancements: After aeration, we can combine services like overseeding or fertilization for maximum results.

Aeration creates the perfect environment for roots to expand, thicken, and absorb more of what your lawn needs to flourish.
