Lawn, tree & yard care · Riverton & the Salt Lake Valley
Lawn aeration
Aeration pulls plugs out of the lawn to loosen compacted soil and get oxygen, water and fertilizer down to the roots. We aerate in spring and fall.
It's worth doing at least once a year; twice is better — especially on clay.
Is this right for you?
A good fit if…
- Water runs off the lawn instead of soaking in.
- The lawn gets heavy foot traffic from kids and pets.
- Your lawn is on compacted new-build clay.
How we do it
Step by step.
- 1
Mark sprinkler heads
So the aerator doesn't break them.
- 2
Pull plugs
Cores are pulled across the whole lawn.
- 3
Leave the plugs
They break down and return to the soil within a couple of weeks.
Utah weather & soil
Why clay lawns need it
Much of the Salt Lake Valley sits on heavy clay, and new-build lots are compacted further by construction equipment. Compacted clay sheds water and starves roots of air, which is why so many lawns here look thirsty no matter how much they're watered.
Aerating in spring and fall, when the grass is actively growing and the soil is moist, gives the lawn time to fill in the holes.
