Key Benefits of This Service

We use specialized equipment to create precise holes throughout your lawn, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone where grass needs them most. The process involves systematic coverage of your entire lawn area, paying special attention to high-traffic zones and areas showing visible compaction.


Our COAT Contracting team schedules aeration at optimal times for Indiana grass types, often coordinating with seeding or spring cleanup services for maximum effectiveness. You'll see the soil plugs scattered across your lawn immediately after treatment, which naturally break down to further improve soil structure.


The results become visible within just one growing season, with improved grass density, better color, and increased resistance to drought stress and disease pressure.

What to Expect When You Book

Our systematic aeration process addresses the specific soil challenges common in Indiana's climate and terrain conditions.

When is the best time to aerate lawns in Bloomington?
We recommend core aeration during early spring or fall when grass actively grows and temperatures remain moderate. These seasons allow your lawn to recover quickly and establish stronger root systems.
How does aeration help with Indiana's clay soil conditions?

Clay soil compacts easily and prevents water penetration, causing runoff and weak root growth. Aeration breaks through this compacted layer, allowing moisture and nutrients to reach grass roots effectively in yards.

Should I water my lawn before the aeration service?
Light watering 24 hours before service helps soften the soil for easier core removal. Avoid heavy watering that creates muddy conditions which can clog our aerating equipment.
What happens to the soil plugs left on my lawn after aeration?
The small soil cores break down naturally within 2-3 weeks, returning organic matter to your lawn. You can speed this process by light raking or mowing over the plugs with a mulching mower.
How soon will I see improvement after lawn aeration?
Most homeowners notice improved water absorption immediately, with visible grass thickness and color improvements appearing within 4-6 weeks. Full benefits develop over the entire growing season.

Regular aeration every 1-2 years maintains optimal soil conditions and prevents the compaction issues that plague many lawns. Call our team to schedule your lawn aeration service and restore your grass to peak health.
