What to know
Compacted soil makes it harder for air and water to reach the root zone. Core aeration addresses that by removing small plugs of soil, leaving openings that let the lawn breathe and helping manage thatch — the layer of plant material that builds up near the surface. Whether aeration helps, and when to do it, depends on your lawn's condition and growth pattern. It's a different service from adding new seed, even though the two are often discussed together.

Common questions
Core aeration removes small soil plugs as part of the process — they break down naturally over time.
No, they're different services. Your estimate will note whether both are included for your property.
