After a long day, you deserve to relax on a lush, green lawn—not one that looks tired and patchy. If your grass seems lackluster, compacted soil and thick thatch might be the culprits, blocking air, water, and nutrients from reaching your grassroots. The good news? Our professional lawn aeration services in Bergen County—including both core aeration and our innovative eco-friendly granular aeration—can revitalize your yard and help it thrive.
Why Lawn Aeration Matters
Aeration is the secret to a healthier, stronger lawn. Over time, soil naturally gets compacted—especially in high-traffic areas or clay-heavy soils—making it tough for your grass to “breathe.” Our core aeration service removes small plugs of soil, opening up pathways for essential nutrients, water, and oxygen. The result? Deeper roots, better drought tolerance, and noticeably thicker, greener grass just weeks after treatment.
Signs Your Bergen County Lawn Needs Aeration
Not sure if your lawn is due for aeration? Watch for:
- Thin, patchy, or weak grass growth
- Water pooling or running off instead of soaking in
- Heavy clay soil or lawns that get frequent foot or vehicle traffic
- Difficulty pushing a screwdriver into the soil (the “screwdriver test”)
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to give your lawn a breath of fresh air!
When Should You Aerate in Bergen County?
Timing is key for the best results. For cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and ryegrass—common in Bergen County and Rockland County—early spring or fall is the ideal time for aeration. Performing aeration just before or during the active growth cycle helps your lawn recover quickly and fill in beautifully.
