Our Core Aeration service is performed in September and sometimes into Early October prior to any freezing of the ground or lawn, or snow falling.
The cores are left on the lawn to decompose naturally and release nutrients back into the lawn. That will be highly beneficial given that winter is just around the corner.
As with our Fertilizer & Weed Control, Enrich Soil Enhancer, and Weekly Lawn Mowing programs, quotes and pricing for Fall Aeration are based on your lawn square footage. Lawn sizes may vary tremendously, ranging anywhere from less than a thousand square feet to literally thousands of square feet for a larger property. We utilize satellite imaging technology to enable us to accurately measure your lawn size.
Core Aeration Pricing
| Lawns from 0 to 5000 square feet | $97 plus GST |
| Lawns from 5001 to 11000 square feet | $112 plus GST |
| Larger lawns or acreage lawns | Quotes on a case-by-case basis |
Clients may also be eligible for ADDITIONAL PRICING DISCOUNTS depending upon what other services they have booked during the current year:
- Weekly Mowing Clients OR Fertilizer & Weed Control Clients = Will Receive 15% off the above Fall Aeration rates.
- Weekly Mowing Clients OR Fertilizer & Weed Control Clients AND Enrich Soil Enhancer Clients = Will Receive 20% off the above Fall Aeration rates.
WHAT IS AERATION?
Aeration Is The Key To A Lush & Healthy Lawn

You’ve probably heard of core aeration before or noticed that your neighbours down the street aerate their lawn. Maybe you’ve tried aerating your lawn once or twice and decided that you didn’t see the results and it was more work than it was worth. Scott’s Quality Lawn Care knows that aeration is an essential practice that must be repeated on a regular basis in order to attain and maintain the healthiest and best looking lawn possible. Aeration is the process of removing cores from your lawn. Aeration is a form of thatch removal, as you are removing thatch with each core that is pulled. However, thatch removal is not the main benefit and for a more thorough thatch removal, you should consider power-raking. When a core is removed from your lawn, you are opening up the root system. This allows moisture and nutrients to penetrate the root system where they are most needed. The openings that are left behind allow for new root development. With soil compaction reduced, new roots can grow into these spaces. Aeration ultimately strengthens the root system and if practiced on a regular basis, you should see a noticeable difference on the surface of your lawn. Lush and green is what we aim for! |

Spring and Fall are the best times to aerate as soil temperatures are cooler, meaning the aeration process will be less stressful on your lawn. If you elect to aerate only once per year, we recommend the Fall. We often offer a special discount on our aeration services in the fall since we are less busy than in the Spring. Plus, we may take on many clients who haven’t done a recent aeration. Aeration is a great first step to improving the overall health and appearance of your lawn! |
