Farrow Pest Services
Core aeration from Farrow Pest Services is designed to fix that. By pulling small plugs of soil from the turf, we open up the root zone so air, water, and nutrients can finally move freely again and your grass has room to grow thicker and stronger.

If your lawn looks okay from the street but thin and tired up close, the problem is usually not the grass, it is the soil underneath. Over time, traffic, mowers, and weather pack the soil down so tightly that roots cannot spread, water runs off, and fertilizer never gets where it needs to go.If your lawn looks okay from the street but thin and tired up close, the problem is usually not the grass, it is the soil underneath. Over time, traffic, mowers, and weather pack the soil down so tightly that roots cannot spread, water runs off, and fertilizer never gets where it needs to go.
Core aeration uses a professional machine that removes small cylinders of soil (plugs) from the lawn. Those holes are far more than just little divots in the turf.
As the plugs crumble and break down with mowing and rain, they blend back into the surface and improve soil structure over time.
Break up compacted soil so roots can grow deeper.
Create channels for water and fertilizer to reach the root zone.
Help reduce thatch by bringing soil microbes closer to built-up organic matter.
Give new roots and shoots space to expand into thin areas.Most lawns slowly compact without anyone noticing. It happens a little at a time from:
Heavy clay or fill soils that naturally pack down
You may be a good candidate for core aeration if you notice:
Aeration is one of the most effective ways to deal with these problems without tearing up and replacing the lawn.
When you schedule core aeration with Farrow Pest Services, here is what typically happens:
Step
1
Lawn evaluation
We walk your yard, look at traffic patterns, note problem areas, and check thatch and soil conditions. This confirms that compaction is part of the issue and helps us plan the service.
Step
2
Professional aeration
Using a core aerator, we pull plugs of soil across the lawn in a consistent pattern. Heavily compacted or high-traffic areas may receive extra passes to open them up more thoroughly.
Step
3
Plugs left to break down
The plugs are left on the surface to dry and crumble. Over the next few mowings, they break apart and work back into the soil, adding organic matter and helping level minor low spots.

Follow-up recommendations
After aeration, the lawn is primed for other services. We may recommend fertilization, overseeding, or specific watering adjustments so your yard gets the maximum benefit.
If your lawn is thin or has bare patches, core aeration and overseeding can be a powerful combination. The aeration holes:
We can pair aeration with overseeding to help:
If you are considering overseeding, ask about timing it right after aeration for the best results.
Core aeration is most effective when it is part of a complete lawn care plan, not a one-time event. At Farrow Pest Services, we often link aeration with:
When these pieces work together, you get a lawn that is not just greener today, but better prepared to stay that way.
If your lawn feels hard, looks tired, or never quite responds the way you expect, core aeration may be the missing piece. Call Farrow Pest Services or request a quote online.
