Core Aeration in Baton Rouge, Ascension & Livingston
Relieve compaction so water, air, and nutrients reach the roots. Our professional core aeration sets your lawn up for deeper roots and greener growth.
Why Core Aeration Works
Compacted Louisiana soils choke roots. Removing small plugs creates channels that let water, oxygen, and nutrients flow into the root zone—driving thicker, greener turf.
Opens pathways for fertilizer to reach the roots.
Stronger turf for heat and drought.
Helps break down the suffocating layer.
Schedule before key feedings for best results.
1) Walk-through & Setup
We mark utilities/irrigation and plan clean passes.
2) Pull Cores
Commercial equipment removes small plugs to open the soil profile.
3) Grow & Feed

When is the best time to aerate in South Louisiana?
During warm-season growth (spring–early fall) for bermuda, zoysia, centipede, and St. Augustine so turf can recover and thicken quickly.
Do the cores need to be cleaned up?
No—let them dry and break down naturally. They’ll crumble back into the soil within a week or two, recycling nutrients and thatch.
Core vs. Liquid Aeration—what’s the difference?
Core aeration physically removes plugs and immediately relieves compaction, while Liquid Aeration loosens the soil profile with wetting agents—great for tight spaces and slopes.
Will aeration fix bare spots?
Aeration improves the soil, but thin areas may also need seeding/sodding plus proper fertilization and watering. We can advise during the quote.
