How Dethatching & Aeration Work

1. Assessment

We begin by examining the condition of your lawn, checking for thatch buildup, soil compaction, and other obstacles to healthy growth.

2. Dethatching 

Our team gently removes excess thatch to allow water, air, and nutrients to penetrate the soil. This step promotes healthier grass growth by improving airflow and preventing pests and disease.

3. Core Aeration 

Using professional-grade equipment, we extract small plugs of soil and grass to reduce compaction and improve soil structure. This creates pathways for air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots.

4. Optional Overseeding 

Pairing aeration with overseeding maximizes your lawn’s potential by filling in bare patches and encouraging a thick, lush green appearance come spring.

5. Nourishment & Maintenance 

We recommend fertilization following aeration to ensure your grass receives a boost of nutrients needed for recovery and growth.


Why Your Lawn Needs Dethatching & Aeration 

Is your lawn struggling to recover after the summer, or showing signs of thinning and patchiness? Dethatching and aeration are critical for overcoming these common pain points. 


  • Eliminates compaction: Heavy foot traffic and natural soil compaction block water, air, and nutrients from penetrating the soil. 
  • Restores oxygen flow: Dethatching and aeration deliver moisture and oxygen deep into the roots where it’s needed most. 
  • Improves resilience: Enjoy stronger grass growth, increased nutrient absorption, and improved drought resistance—even after the most stressful seasons. 


A healthy lawn doesn’t just happen. It’s created by giving your grass the tools it needs to grow deep, strong roots and thrive.
