Lawn aeration is one of the most effective ways to improve turf health in Mesa’s compacted desert soils. Foot traffic, irrigation, and natural soil composition restrict the movement of air and water below the surface. Core aeration corrects this issue by removing small plugs of soil, opening up the ground so moisture, oxygen, and nutrients can be absorbed by your lawn’s roots.
Step 1) Property Evaluation
We start by walking the lawn to identify heavily compacted areas, thinning turf, drainage issues, and areas that may need extra attention during aeration.
Step 2) Irrigation & Line Identification
Before any equipment is used, sprinkler components and shallow utility lines are located to prevent damage and ensure the process is carried out safely.
Step 3) Lawn Preparation & Marking
Edges, obstacles, and sensitive areas are clearly marked to guide our equipment and maintain consistent aeration coverage throughout the yard.
Step 4) Initial Aeration Pass
Professional core aeration equipment is used to make the first pass across the lawn, extracting soil plugs and loosening compacted layers beneath the surface.
Step 5) Secondary Cross Pass
A follow-up pass is completed in a different direction to increase hole density and improve overall soil penetration across the turf.
Step 6) Detail Aeration
Smaller sections, narrow strips, and areas near hardscapes are aerated manually to ensure no part of the lawn is overlooked.
Step 7) Plug Decomposition
Soil plugs remain on the lawn surface, where they gradually break down and return beneficial organic material back into the soil.
Step 8) Final Inspection
Once aeration is complete, we perform a final walkthrough to confirm even coverage, proper depth, and ideal conditions for recovery and new root growth.
If your lawn struggles with hard soil, uneven growth, or water runoff, aeration can dramatically improve its condition. Our experienced team understands the challenges of Mesa lawns and delivers aeration services that support long-term grass health.
