Aeration for Trailside family lawns

Trailside is a family neighborhood in the Snyderville Basin with trails and parks close by. The lawns here get used. Soccer in the backyard, dogs on patrol and bikes cutting across the grass all pack the soil down.

Lawns that get used need aeration more

Every footstep presses the soil a little tighter. Over a summer, a busy lawn can go from soft to hard. Once it is packed, water runs off the top and roots stay near the surface. That is when you see worn paths and brown spots that do not bounce back.

Core aeration pulls plugs of soil out and gives the roots room again. For a lawn that gets heavy use, aerating in both spring and fall is worth thinking about.

A simple yearly plan for a busy yard

  • Spring (April to May): Core aeration once the ground thaws and dries, before the summer of play starts. $155.
  • Fall (late August to October): Aeration with fertilizer to help the lawn recover from summer and store up for winter. $195.

Once a year in fall is still a solid choice if you want to keep it simple.

Kids and pets after aeration

There is no waiting period. The lawn is fine to use the same day. The cores left on the grass are just soil and break down in a couple of weeks.
