Lawn aeration is perfect for…
Leave your grass looking healthy
LAWN AERATION SERVICE
Lawn aeration is the process of using mechanised equipment to remove thousands of deep cores of subsurface thatch and soil from your lawn. In turn, this process will allow oxygen, nutrients and water to penetrate deep into the root zone – leaving your grass looking healthy.
Whether you are a house proud homeowner, or an organisation with large commercial grounds, Greengrass’ lawn aeration service can benefit your turf. Click the links below to find out more, or send us an enquiry.

HOLLOW TINE AERATION LAWN TREATMENT
Hollow tine aeration involves removing small cores, or plugs, of soil from your lawn. This eases compaction and thatch, letting the lawn breathe, with air, water and fertiliser all able to easily get through to the root.
Over time, the roots and soil underneath a lawn become compacted leaving it difficult for the lawn to receive oxygen and nutrients, this can be due to the age of the lawn and its use, as well as exposure to bad weather. Hollow tine aeration is a reliable way to assist the lawn so that water and essential nutrients can penetrate into the root zone.
To aerate your lawn, we’ll use equipment such as the handheld lawn aerator, which is similar to a garden fork but with hollow tubes rather than spikes, or the petrol-powered hollow tine aerator. This piece of equipment aerates lawns efficiently and effectively, letting the soil breathe, getting it the essential nutrients that it needs, and allowing it to grow healthily.
For lawns that need some serious aeration, a petrol-powered piece of equipment is the best tool for the job. However, for a variety of reasons – the cost of buying one for infrequent use, not having the free time to spend on lawn care, or simply finding it too physically demanding – properly aerating the lawn just isn’t possible for many of us. That’s where we come in! We’re here to help with both hollow tine aeration and all of your lawn care needs, residential or commercial. Our team of professionals has the highest standard of equipment for lawn care, giving your lawn the services it needs to stay fresh and healthy.

CORE AERATION LAWN TREATMENT
Over time the soil and roots underneath your lawn get tightly compacted due to footfall, mowing and bad weather conditions. Compacted soil struggles for oxygen and essential nutrients and develops thick layers of thatch which also prevents air and water getting to the roots causing unhealthy growth and disease.
Core aeration has the added benefit of displacing sub-surface thatch. This can be beneficial on very ‘thatchy’ lawns as it root-prunes as it displaces the core and it also helps the roots grow deeply to produce a stronger, more vigorous lawn.
The main reasons for aeration are to alleviate soil compaction and reduce thatch build up.
The benefits of lawn aeration
Aerating your lawn offers several benefits that can lead to healthier, greener grass. Here’s how aeration can improve your lawn:
- Improved Air and Water Flow: Aeration boosts oxygen and water penetration, promoting deeper root growth.
- Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: Nutrients reach the roots more effectively, leading to healthier, thicker grass.
- Reduced Soil Compaction: Loosens compacted soil, giving roots space to grow and thrive.
- Thatch Reduction: Breaks up thatch, allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the soil more easily.
Overall, regular aeration improves the lawn’s health, making it greener, stronger, and more resistant to various stresses.
