Deep Core Aeration & Overseeding Services in Calgary

Lawn aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil from your lawn to reduce soil compaction and allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. In Calgary, heavy clay soil and foot traffic can compact lawns over time, preventing healthy growth. Core aeration helps improve root development, drainage, and overall lawn health.

The best time to aerate lawns in Calgary is during the spring or early fall when grass is actively growing. Aerating during these seasons allows the lawn to recover quickly and take advantage of improved soil conditions.

Most Calgary lawns benefit from aeration once per year. Lawns with heavy clay soil, high foot traffic, or poor drainage may benefit from aeration twice per year.

Overseeding is the process of spreading new grass seed over an existing lawn. When done immediately after aeration, the holes created by the aeration machine allow seeds to settle into the soil, improving germination and helping create a thicker, healthier lawn.
