Our Lawn Aeration Services Feature:

Core Aeration

We use a specialised core aeration process that involves extracting small plugs of soil from your lawn. This technique helps to alleviate soil compaction, allowing essential nutrients, water, and air to penetrate deep into the root zone.

Seasonal Aeration

To maximise the benefits of aeration, we offer seasonal aeration services that are timed to coincide with periods of active growth for your specific grass type.

Expert Analysis

Our lawn care professionals will conduct a thorough analysis of your lawn’s condition to determine if aeration is necessary. We take into account factors such as soil composition, foot traffic, and overall lawn health.

Minimal Disruption

When should you aerate your lawn?

For lawns in Brisbane, Australia, which has a subtropical climate, the ideal time for lawn aeration depends on the type of grass you have. Here’s a general guideline:

Cool-Season Grasses (such as Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass): Aerate these grasses typically around late February to early April or late August to early September.

Warm-Season Grasses (such as Couch grass, Buffalo grass, and Zoysia grass): Aerate warm-season grasses in late spring to early summer. Aim for the period from October to November, when these grasses are actively growing and recovering from winter dormancy

Always consider the current weather conditions before aerating. Avoid aerating during extremely hot or dry periods, as well as during heavy rainfall, to ensure the best results. It’s also a good practice to mow your lawn slightly shorter than usual before aerating to allow better access to the soil.

What does aeration do for your lawn?

Aeration benefits your lawn by:

  1. Increasing oxygen supply for root health
  2. Enhancing water absorption and reducing runoff.
  3. Improving nutrient availability to grass.
  4. Supporting deeper and stronger root growth.
  5. Breaking down thatch and enriching soil.
  6. Preventing soil compaction and erosion.
  7. Creating a favorable environment for overseeding.
How do I know if my lawn needs to be aerated?

Consider aerating your lawn if you notice:

Compacted Soil: Heavy foot traffic, clay soil, or machinery can compact the soil, leading to poor root growth.

Water Runoff: If water pools or runs off instead of being absorbed, it suggests soil compaction.

Thatch Buildup: Excessive thatch (over half an inch) can hinder nutrient and water movement.

Patchy Grass: Sparse or uneven growth may indicate compaction limiting root development.

Stress and Drought Susceptibility: Compacted soil can make your lawn less resilient during dry periods.

Moss Growth: Moss thriving may signal compacted soil and poor grass health.

Lawn Care Ineffectiveness: If your lawn care efforts aren’t yielding desired results, aeration could help.

Overseeding Plans: Aeration provides an ideal environment for successful overseeding.
