Frequently Asked Questions

Why is aeration important in Austin?

Austin's heavy clay soils compact easily, preventing water and nutrients from reaching roots. Aeration breaks through this compaction layer, dramatically improving lawn health.

What are those plugs left on my lawn?

The soil plugs will break down naturally within 1-2 weeks. They actually add beneficial microbes back to your lawn. You can speed breakdown by mowing over them.

Can I walk on my lawn after aeration?

Yes, you can use your lawn normally after aeration. In fact, foot traffic helps break down the soil plugs.
