Give your lawn the foundation it needs to thrive. Eagle Landscaping offers professional core aeration servicesthroughout Sumner and Robertson Counties, designed to relieve soil compaction and help your grass grow thicker, greener, and healthier.

Over time, soil becomes compacted from foot traffic, weather, and regular mowing, making it harder for water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots. Aeration opens up the soil—allowing your lawn to breathe and absorb everything it needs to flourish.

Benefits of Lawn Aeration

Regular aeration improves your lawn’s overall health by increasing oxygen flow, nutrient absorption, and water infiltration. It helps roots grow deeper, reduces runoff, and enhances drought resistance—resulting in a thicker, more vibrant lawn you’ll love year after year.

Lawn Aeration Service FAQs

  • For most Tennessee lawns, we recommend aerating once a year, typically in the spring or fall. Lawns with heavy foot traffic, clay soil, or drainage issues may benefit from aeration twice a year to maintain strong root growth and healthy turf.

  • The best time for aeration is early spring or early fall, when grass is actively growing and can recover quickly. These seasons provide the ideal balance of moisture and temperature for new root development and stronger turf density.

  • Yes — lightly water your lawn one day before aeration. Moist soil allows the aerator to penetrate more effectively, creating clean, deep cores that help air, water, and nutrients reach the roots. Avoid overwatering, as muddy conditions can make aeration less effective.

  • Absolutely. Aeration and overseeding work best together because the holes created during aeration give new seeds direct contact with the soil. We often follow aeration with fertilization or seeding to promote quick germination and strong root growth.

  • While you may notice improved drainage and texture right away, the most visible results—thicker, greener grass—usually appear within a few weeks as new roots develop and the lawn fills in. Regular aeration helps sustain these long-term results year after year.
