Core aeration is an essential part of maintaining a healthy and beautiful lawn in Michigan. Over time, soil can become compacted, preventing vital nutrients, water, and air from reaching the grass roots. This can result in a dull, patchy lawn. 


Custom Personalized Lawn Careoffers a professional Core Aeration Service each fall that is the single best mechanical service you can provide your lawn. Our core aeration process involves removing small plugs of soil from your lawn, creating small holes that allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. This process improves soil structure and encourages deep root growth, resulting in a thicker, healthier lawn. 


The ultimate factor in turf health is a deep, healthy root system. The deeper your roots can grow, the healthier and greener your lawn will be. Aeration loosens the soil structure, making it easier for the grass roots to grow deeper into the soil, and making all of your other lawn care practices even more effective!

How Core Aeration Works 

Core Aeration is the mechanical process of removing plugs of soil throughout the lawn, making it easier for oxygen, water, and fertilizer to absorb into the soil and directly benefit the root system. Eight to ten weeks following an aeration, you can expect a new and deeper root system to develop, creating a lawn that is more resistant to drought, insect damage, and lawn disease.  

When to Aerate 

Custom Lawn Care recommends a core aeration once per year during the Fall. Fall is an ideal time to aerate because 85% of grass root growth takes place during this time. Also, cool warm temperatures combined with warm soil temperatures are the perfect combination to allow the lawn to recover easily from the aeration process. 

The Benefits of Lawn Aeration 

  • Relieves Soil Compaction

    Over time, gravity, water, and foot traffic compact the soil in your lawn, strangling the root system and making it hard for nutrients to be absorbed. Aeration removes plugs of soil to loosen the soil structure, allowing your lawn’s root system to BREATHE and THRIVE!

  • Improves Nutrient Uptake

    When a lawn becomes compacted, the nutrients can become trapped on top of the lawn, rather than absorbing into the soil and root system. Aeration creates room for fertilizer, water, and air to permeate into the soil and become more accessible to the grass root system.

  • Decreases Thatch Layer

    Thatch is the layer of dead and living grass shoots, stems and roots that collects between the soil and grass blades. Every lawn has a thatch layer, but when it builds up thicker than ½ inch, it can lead to stunted root growth and increased insect damage and lawn disease. Aeration helps to thin out thatch layers to a healthy thickness that benefits your lawn.
