Frequently Asked Questions
✦How much does core aeration cost in Madison, WI?
Professional core aeration services in Madison typically range from one hundred and twenty-five to three hundred and fifty dollars. The exact price depends on turf square footage, gates, and slopes. Combining aeration with overseeding services reduces the per-service rate and provides optimal lawn thickness.
✦What should I do before my lawn aeration appointment?
Please flag all underground sprinkler heads, shallow utility lines, invisible dog fences, and lighting wires before our crew arrives. We also recommend watering your lawn with one-half inch of water the night before. Moistened clay soil allows our aerators to extract the deepest core plugs.
✦Should I rake up the soil cores left on my grass?
Do not rake or remove the extracted soil cores from your lawn. These plugs decompose naturally within one to two weeks, acting as an organic top dressing. Rain and routine mowing break down the plugs, returning beneficial soil microbes and vital nutrients back into the grass roots.
