Professional Lawn Aeration Services in Garner, NC

Lawn Aeration

A vital part of our all-inclusive Top Dressing Service

At Today and Tomorrow Turf, we include core aeration as a crucial part of our comprehensive Top Dressing treatment—we do not offer aeration as a stand-alone service. This ensures your lawn receives the full benefits of our precision care, designed to foster healthy roots, improved soil structure, and lasting results.

What is Aeration?

Aeration allows air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeply into the root zone. This helps the roots grow stronger and deeper, supporting a thicker, more resilient lawn.

The primary reason for aerating is to relieve soil compaction. When soil becomes too tightly packed, it prevents air, water, and nutrients from circulating properly. Compaction can also trap excess thatch and organic debris just below the surface, starving your turf’s root system.

Why Your Lawn May Need Aeration:

Heavy Foot Traffic: If your lawn is the go-to play area for kids or pets, the soil likely suffers from compaction.

New Construction: Newly built homes often have stripped or buried topsoil, and the remaining subsoil becomes compacted by construction equipment.

Sod Installation: Sod is often laid with a finer soil layer over coarser native soil, creating “soil layering.” This disrupts drainage and root growth. Aeration helps break this up, improving water flow and promoting healthier roots.
