Our approach
Core Aeration for Bermuda Grass in Georgia
Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil from your lawn, breaking up compaction and creating channels for water, air, and nutrients to reach the root zone. This is especially important for Middle Georgia’s clay soils, which compact easily and restrict root growth.
For bermuda grass specifically, we adjust product selection and application rates to match its aggressive growth rate and high nitrogen needs. No chemical application. Cores dissolve naturally within 1-2 weeks.
