Help Your Lawn Breathe, Grow, and Thrive

A healthy lawn starts below the surface. Over time, Edmonton lawns become compacted due to foot traffic, pets, and heavy soil conditions. Lawn aeration is one of the most effective ways to restore your lawn’s health by allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots where they are needed most.

At iBIN Lawn Care, we provide professional core aeration services designed specifically for local soil and climate conditions.

What Is Lawn Aeration?

Lawn aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil from your lawn to reduce compaction. This creates space for:

Oxygen to reach grass roots
Water to absorb more effectively
Nutrients and fertilizer to penetrate deeper

The result is stronger roots, thicker grass, and a healthier lawn overall.

Why Aeration Is Important for Edmonton Lawns

Edmonton soil tends to be dense and clay-based, which makes compaction a common issue. Without aeration, your lawn may experience:

Poor drainage
Weak root growth
Increased weeds
Thinning or patchy grass

Aeration helps reverse these problems and prepares your lawn for long-term success.

Benefits of Lawn Aeration

✔ Improves soil drainage
✔ Encourages deeper root growth
✔ Reduces thatch buildup
✔ Enhances fertilizer effectiveness
✔ Promotes thicker, greener grass
✔ Helps prevent weed growth Aeration is especially effective when combined with overseeding and fertilization.

When Should You Aerate Your Lawn?

The best times for aeration in Edmonton are:

Spring: Helps your lawn recover from winter damage
Fall: Prepares your lawn for strong growth the following season

Most lawns benefit from aeration once per year, while high-traffic lawns may benefit from twice yearly aeration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at ibinlandscapinginfo@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is lawn aeration?

Lawn aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil from your lawn to reduce soil compaction. This allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots, helping your lawn grow stronger and healthier.

Why does my lawn need aeration?

Over time, soil becomes compacted from foot traffic, pets, and heavy clay soil common in Edmonton. Compacted soil prevents proper root growth, leading to thin grass, poor drainage, and increased weeds. Aeration relieves this compaction and restores lawn health.

How often should I aerate my lawn?

Most lawns benefit from aeration once per year. Lawns with heavy use or compacted soil may benefit from aeration twice per year—once in spring and once in fall.

When is the best time to aerate in Edmonton?

The best times to aerate are:

Spring: Helps your lawn recover from winter damage
Fall: Prepares your lawn for strong growth the following season

We recommend aeration when grass is actively growing.

Is aeration safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Aeration is a mechanical process only and does not involve chemicals. Your lawn is safe for children and pets immediately after service.

Will aeration damage my lawn?

No. Aeration improves lawn health. Soil plugs are left on the lawn and will naturally break down within 1–2 weeks, returning nutrients back into the soil.

Should I water my lawn before aeration?

Yes. Light watering the day before aeration helps soften the soil and allows better plug removal. If the soil is too dry or frozen, aeration may be less effective.

Do I need to mark sprinkler heads or utilities?

Yes. Please mark sprinkler heads, shallow lines, and any underground utilities before service to avoid damage.

Can aeration help with weeds?

Aeration helps grass grow thicker and healthier, which naturally reduces weed growth. For best results, aeration is often combined with overseeding and weed control treatments.

Should I combine aeration with overseeding?

Absolutely. Aeration creates ideal conditions for grass seed to germinate. Aeration and overseeding together produce faster, thicker, and more even lawn growth.

How soon will I see results?

You may notice improved water absorption immediately. Thicker, healthier grass growth typically becomes visible within 2–4 weeks, especially when combined with overseeding and fertilization.
