Why Aeration Matters for Aurora Lawns

Aurora sits on heavy clay soil. Over time, that soil compacts under foot traffic and equipment, blocking water and air from reaching grass roots. The result is a lawn that looks thin and stressed no matter how much you water or fertilize.

Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil out of the ground, creating channels for water, oxygen, and nutrients to get down to the root zone. It also helps reduce thatch buildup. A single aeration visit each fall makes a noticeable difference over the next growing season.

Best time to aerate in Aurora

Fall is the ideal window for Aurora lawns, typically late August through October. Soil temps are still warm enough for recovery, and your grass has the whole off-season to fill in before spring. Spring aeration works too, but fall gives better results.

💧
Better Water Absorption

Water gets to the roots instead of running off hard, compacted ground.

🌱
Deeper Root Growth

Roots grow deeper when the soil isn't packed solid. Deeper roots mean a healthier, more drought-resistant lawn.

🧱
Breaks Up Clay Compaction

Aurora's clay soil compacts hard. Aeration loosens it and helps break the cycle.

🌿
Thatch Reduction

The soil cores left on the surface help break down thatch naturally over a few weeks.

Aeration FAQ

Do I need to water before aeration?

Yes. Water your lawn 24-48 hours before the visit so the soil is moist but not muddy. Dry, rock-hard soil makes it hard to get good plug depth.

What do I do with the soil cores left on the lawn?

Leave them. They break down on their own within 2-4 weeks and actually help with thatch decomposition. No need to rake them up.

Should I aerate and overseed at the same time?

Yes, that's the best combination. The aeration holes give new seed excellent soil contact, and germination rates go up significantly. We offer both services together.
