What is Lawn Aeration?
Lawn aeration is a process used to improve lawn health and vitality by allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil. Over time, soil can become compacted due to heavy foot traffic, the use of machinery like lawnmowers, and environmental conditions. Compacted soil restricts air circulation, water, and nutrients from reaching the root systems, which can take a toll on your lawn’s health and quality.
Types of Lawn Aeration
What aeration looks like depends on the type of lawn aeration you choose. Aggieland Green offers core and liquid lawn aeration and both provide the same valuable benefits for your Texas lawn.
Core Aeration
Core aeration is like giving your lawn a breath of fresh air. Using a core aerator machine, hollow tines pull out small plugs of soil from your lawn. This creates holes in the soil surface that help air, water, and nutrients soak into your lawn to reach the root systems. Core aeration encourages root systems to expand resulting in healthier grass growth throughout the growing season. The plugs of soil left on the lawn naturally degrade over time and contain organic matter that helps further break down the thatch layer. Core lawn aeration is best for lawns with heavy clay soil, high-traffic areas, or severe compaction.
Liquid Lawn Aeration
Liquid aeration is a newer way to replenish your lawn in late spring. Instead of pulling out plugs of soil, we’re proud to offer dependable, safe, and hassle-free liquid lawn aeration with the top-of-the-line N-Ext Air-8 System. Liquid aeration uses a wetting agent that penetrates the soil. The products break up the soil compaction and thatch to make it easier for air, water, and nutrients to get to the grassroots. Liquid aeration is great for lawns with hard-to-reach spots or homeowners who don’t want any heavy machinery on the lawn. Due to the less invasive method, it doesn’t risk damage to sprinkler heads or irrigation lines.
Benefits of Lawn Aeration
Aggieland Green performs aeration at the ideal time of year for Texas grass types, in late spring to early summer to ensure the best results. Both core aeration and liquid aeration come with countless benefits for your lawn:

- Better watering efficiency and water intake
- Reduces compacted soil and thatch build-up
- Improves the lawn’s health and resistance to disease, weeds, and drought stress
