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.

I contracted with SavATree (Exeter) this year to take down fifteen trees and to do monthly lawn treatments. Kendra was fantastic to deal with. She took care of scheduling, putting everything together, explaining the billing process and followed up when everything was done.. Ashley came out to the house, walked the property with me, made some great suggestions and handled the quotes. The...

Excellent workmanship from the equipment and the crew that was here. The arrived ay 8:00 AM and were done taking out three large trees, and trimming branches of a huge white ash that they have been treating it every other year to stop the beetles that have been destroying ash trees throughout the U.S. I would recommend SavATree for any tree service you may need.

I had a large tree removed. Tree was far away from the road, close to the pool and fence. They were able to skillfully remove the tree. When I returned home after work to see the result, you could not even tell they had completed the work other than the remaining stump. They did outstanding work! No damage to yard, property or debris trail of branches and leaves. They also cut back some...

Everything was done efficiently and...

River and Joel did a fantastic job with both a tree removal and a trim for us. They were courteous, highly efficient and cleaned up great after. I was impressed with both the quality and the speed of the work, with everything done in under 2.5 hours. This is our second time using Boise Tree and will certainly reach out to them again for tree work!

A neighbor recommended SavATree to us and we are very happy with their service … from the free consultation with arborist Ronal, who was very knowledgeable and informative, to the actual pruning of our four redwood trees, and yard cleanup. Everyone was professional, courteous, and responsive to our questions and concerns. “Natural” pruning made our redwoods look terrific and several...

Our HOA has been using SavATree for a good number of years. Scott, our arborist has taken the time to study our 53 acre property, and has provided us with solid advice on taking care of over 700 trees. The pricing has been fair, the crews careful, and safety procedures have always been followed. Most importantly, we feel that the health and beauty of our trees are cared for.

Have been a customer with Sav A Tree for several years. We recently had about 8 trees pruned and cut back and also had some branches removed since they had grown too close to the house. The crew was tremendous to work with and Tyler Willis was always attentive and gave great advice on what needed to be done. Thanks Sav A Tree!
