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.

The crew was on time, courteous, and cleaned up afterwards. The tree was pruned to my satisfaction.

They have been doing a great job treating our fir trees for the last several years. To be ready for the next wind/ice storm they just cabled the trees together. Angel's crew was great. They did great work and answered all of my questions. Will continue to use SavATree.

Grant, Mikey & Dakota did a fantastic job. SavATree was great to work with. They were punctual, professional & had excellent communication. We won’t be calling anyone else next time our tree needs trimmed.

The crew was great. Luis, the foreman shared insights on his knowledge of tree roots. I have trees that needed replanted to allow for more shade in certain areas of the property and they transplanted them. I am so happy with the results.

I like the year end yard review of grass and trees. Its very proactive. I took advice and had a tree removed as I was told it had a disease and could not be saved. Process was quick and efficient. The only thing that could have given a Five Star rating was to be able to have treated the tree and saved it.

Perfect service, easy to respond, and fast turnaround. We needed a pruning of a tree to comply with city standards. The representative Frank was very nice and did a great job. We compared prices and they had a good estimate.

When Nye's came to my home to give me an estimate, the tree expert listened to my concerns, and gave me a couple of options. He did not pressure me to take the option that would cost me the most. He also gave me the option to have my work done in the winter so save money!! When the team came to trim-up my tree, I was impressed by the promptness and courtesy of the team members. We...

The Tree Mechanics very friendly and kind crew did a spectacular job getting up into the trees and removing the branches that were broken and dead. Then they picked up all the branches and turned them into small pieces with their machine. We highly recommend them for keeping trees healthy.
