Core aeration breaks up Aurora's compacted clay soil so water and nutrients actually reach the roots. It's the best investment you can make for your lawn each year.
Get Your Free QuoteAurora 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.
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.
Water gets to the roots instead of running off hard, compacted ground.
Roots grow deeper when the soil isn't packed solid. Deeper roots mean a healthier, more drought-resistant lawn.
Aurora's clay soil compacts hard. Aeration loosens it and helps break the cycle.
