Lawn Aeration in Centennial, CO
If water runs off your Centennial lawn before it soaks in, the soil is probably packed tight. Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil so water, air and fertilizer reach the roots.

Much of the south metro sits on heavy clay. Foot traffic, kids, dogs and mowing press it down until roots stay shallow. Pulling cores loosens it up and helps the lawn handle summer heat.
Single or Double Pass
One pass works for most yards. A double pass (two directions) suits hard, thin or high-traffic lawns.
Best Timing
We aerate in fall, when cooler weather helps roots recover before the ground freezes. See our guide to aerating Aurora clay.
Before We Come
Water the lawn a day or two ahead so the tines go deep. Mark your sprinkler heads with flags before we arrive so the machine steers clear of them.
What Affects Price
Aeration starts at $65 and is priced by lawn square footage. Pair it with fall fertilization to feed the roots while the soil is open.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I leave the plugs?
Yes. They break down in a week or two and return soil to the lawn.
When do you aerate?
In fall.
Do I need to mark my sprinkler heads?
Yes, please flag them before your visit.
Single or double pass?
For most Centennial yards, aeration takes one to two hours depending on size and whether you choose a single or double pass. A double pass covers the lawn in two directions and is worth it for hard, thin or high-traffic lawns.
Should I aerate once or twice a year?
For most lawns, once a year in the fall is enough. If the soil is badly compacted or the lawn has gone years without aeration, a second pass in spring can speed up recovery.
