Aeration & Fertilization

Aeration relieves compaction and opens the soil so air, water, and nutrients can reach the root zone more effectively. Fertilization then helps drive stronger color, thickness, and recovery throughout the growing season.

This is one of our most valuable turf-health services, and new clients can ask about a FREE first fertilization application. It is a smart choice for lawns that need renewed vigor after heavy use or seasonal stress.

  • Core aeration for compacted lawns
  • Fertilization programs for greener turf
  • Excellent for thin, stressed, or tired lawns
  • New-client special: free first fertilization application
