Core Aeration in Macon & Warner Robins, Georgia
Georgia clay compacts hard. When soil is packed tight, water, air, and nutrients can't reach the roots. Core aeration opens it up so every treatment works harder. Get a quote today.
The problem
Compacted Clay Is Choking Your Lawn's Roots
Georgia clay compacts easily — foot traffic, mowing, rain all pack it down further. Compacted soil blocks water from soaking in, prevents air from reaching roots, and stops fertilizer from being absorbed.
You can keep fertilizing, but if the soil is locked up, your lawn can't use what you're putting down. Core aeration breaks through the compaction so treatments actually reach the root zone.

How it works
What Core Aeration Does Underground
Core Removal
A machine pulls 2-3 inch soil plugs across your lawn, creating channels for water, air, and nutrients to penetrate.
Soil Recovery
The plugs break down naturally over 1-2 weeks, returning nutrients to the surface and improving soil structure.
Treatment Boost
With compaction relieved, fertilizer, weed control, and other treatments absorb more effectively into the root zone.
The results
Why Core Aeration Makes a Difference
Deeper Root Growth
When soil isn’t compacted, roots grow deeper. Deeper roots mean a lawn that handles heat, drought, and foot traffic better.
Better Water Penetration
Water soaks into the soil instead of running off the surface. Your lawn stays hydrated longer between waterings.
More Effective Treatments
Fertilizer and weed control work harder when they can actually reach the root zone. Aeration makes every treatment more efficient.

Common questions
Core Aeration Questions
When is the best time to aerate in Georgia?
For warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia, the best time to aerate is late spring through early summer when grass is actively growing and can recover quickly.
How often should I aerate my lawn?
Most Middle Georgia lawns benefit from aeration once or twice a year. Lawns on heavy clay soil or with high foot traffic may need it more frequently.
What are the plugs left on my lawn?
Those are soil cores pulled from the ground during aeration. They break down naturally within 1-2 weeks and return nutrients to the soil. Don’t rake them up.
Can I mow right after aeration?
We recommend waiting 2-3 days after aeration before mowing. This gives the soil time to begin recovering and maximizes the benefit of the treatment.
How much does core aeration cost?
Most lawns start at $39/month. Pricing depends on your lawn’s size and condition. Flat monthly pricing with no hidden fees or contracts. Request a quote for your exact price.
