Compacted soil can weaken your lawn’s growth. Our aeration services enhance root development, ensuring healthier, more resilient grass.
If your lawn is thinning, compacted, or struggling to absorb water, the problem likely lies beneath the surface. Soil compaction is one of the most common causes of unhealthy grass in Moses Lake, but the solution is simple: professional core aeration. At Tatum Lawn Care, we offer top-rated lawn aeration services designed to revitalize your yard, promote deeper root growth, and set the stage for greener, thicker grass.
Lawn aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil from your lawn to alleviate compaction and improve air, water, and nutrient flow to the roots. This technique, known as core aeration, creates channels that allow your lawn to breathe and grow more effectively.
A beautiful lawn starts below the surface. When soil becomes compacted due to foot traffic, heavy machinery, or natural settling, it restricts the flow of essential elements that grass needs to thrive. Aeration addresses these issues head-on:
By breaking up compacted soil, aeration opens pathways for fertilizers, water, and oxygen to reach the root zone where they’re needed most.
Looser soil makes it easier for roots to expand deeply, resulting in grass that is better able to withstand drought, heat, and foot traffic.
Aeration helps control thatch, a layer of dead grass and roots that can suffocate your lawn, by improving microbial activity that breaks it down naturally.
After aeration, lawns recover more quickly from stress and are less susceptible to diseases, pests, and environmental extremes.
With better airflow and nutrient access, your lawn becomes greener, denser, and more vibrant.
We use high-powered core aerators and follow a proven process to deliver the best results for your lawn:

This helps ensure you get the most out of your lawn’s recovery and regrowth.
Timing is crucial for effective aeration. In Moses Lake, we recommend scheduling based on your lawn’s grass type:
Ideal for cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass. Spring aeration helps lawns recover from winter stress and prepare for summer heat.
Also excellent for cool-season grasses. Fall aeration promotes strong root development before winter dormancy.
We do not recommend aerating in the heat of summer or during winter dormancy, as the grass is less likely to recover quickly.
