Core aeration
in Calgary.

Calgary's clay-heavy soil and everyday foot traffic compact your lawn over time, squeezing out the air and water roots need. Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil to open it back up, so water, oxygen and nutrients reach the root zone.

One of the highest-value jobs

Give your lawn
room to grow.

If your lawn feels hard underfoot, pools water, or struggles no matter how much you feed it, compaction is usually the cause. Aeration is one of the simplest, highest-value things you can do for a struggling Calgary lawn.

It works best alongside overseeding and fertilizing, when seed and feed can settle straight into the holes.

Built for Calgary lawns.

Our soil and seasons are hard on lawns. Aeration is one of the few things that addresses the cause, not just the symptoms.

Beats compaction

Clay soil, traffic and winter pack the ground down. Aeration loosens it so roots can spread.

Less runoff, more uptake

Open soil lets water and feed soak in where it counts instead of running off the surface.

Stronger over time

Regular aeration builds a deeper root system that handles dry spells far better.

Aeration questions.

For most Calgary lawns we recommend core aeration twice a year, in spring and fall, for the best long-term results. We will confirm the right schedule for your lawn during the estimate.
Yes. The soil cores break down naturally within a couple of weeks and return nutrients to the lawn as they do.
Aerate first, then overseed, so the seed settles into the holes for better soil contact and stronger establishment.
