Lawn Aeration in Meridian

Lawn aeration is one of the most beneficial and transformative services for Idaho lawns, especially those struggling with heavy clay soil common throughout the Treasure Valley. Our professional core aeration service uses specialized equipment to remove thousands of small plugs of soil and thatch from your lawn, creating channels that allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone where grass plants need them most. This process relieves soil compaction caused by foot traffic, mowing equipment, and the natural settling of clay-based soils prevalent in Kuna, Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, and Eagle.

Compacted soil is one of the primary reasons Idaho lawns struggle - it prevents proper water infiltration leading to runoff and pooling, restricts root development keeping roots shallow and weak, and limits the effectiveness of fertilizer applications. Our commercial-grade core aerators remove plugs 2-3 inches deep and 0.5-0.75 inches in diameter, spaced 3-4 inches apart across your entire lawn. We make multiple passes in different directions to ensure comprehensive coverage, paying special attention to high-traffic areas, compacted zones near sidewalks and driveways, and problem areas where water tends to pool.

The removed soil cores are left on the lawn surface where they break down naturally over 1-2 weeks, returning beneficial soil microorganisms and organic matter back to your turf. This process effectively redistributes soil and helps break down thatch accumulation. Aeration is especially critical in Idaho where clay soil compacts easily and hot, dry summer conditions stress lawns.
