Professional Core Aeration

Core aeration is a lawn care service that reduces soil compaction and allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone more effectively. Over time, foot traffic, mowing equipment, and natural settling can compact soil, making it harder for grass to grow strong and evenly.

Bison Lawn Care provides core aeration services for residential lawns throughout North Idaho. By removing small plugs of soil from the lawn, aeration helps roots expand, improves drainage, and supports healthier turf over the long term.

Why Core Aeration Matters

Soil compaction limits root growth and restricts the movement of water and nutrients. Core aeration helps reverse these issues by creating space within the soil, allowing grass roots to grow deeper and stronger.

Regular aeration supports thicker turf, improves resilience during dry periods, and helps lawns recover more effectively from seasonal stress.

Your Questions, Answered

  • Core aeration removes small plugs of soil from the lawn to relieve compaction and improve airflow, water absorption, and nutrient penetration.

  • Aeration is typically done during the growing season when grass can recover and fill in open areas naturally.

  • No. The soil plugs break down naturally and return nutrients to the lawn as they decompose.

  • Most lawns benefit from aeration, especially those with compacted soil or heavy foot traffic.
