Breathe New Life Into Your Lawn
Healthy lawns start with healthy soil. Aeration is the key to ensuring your lawn has access to the air, water, and nutrients it needs to thrive. Aeration breaks through the soil barrier, restoring your lawn’s ability to absorb nutrients and grow thick and healthy. At bioLawn, we offer professional aeration services tailored to your lawn’s unique needs, helping to reduce soil compaction, improve root growth, and create a resilient, vibrant lawn.
Our Aeration Options
Liquid Aeration
Our liquid aeration uses a proprietary blend of ingredients applied over your lawn to:
- Increase water filtration and improve soil nutrient-holding capacity.
- Promote a healthier soil biologic ecosystem to support long-term lawn health.
- Deliver many of the same benefits as core aeration without the mess of plugs or disruption to your lawn’s surface.
Core Aeration
Core aeration pulls plugs of soil from your lawn, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients to:
- Improve root growth by encouraging roots to penetrate deeper into the soil.
- Reduce plant stress and improves the lawn’s ability to recover from heavy use.
- Relieve soil compaction, making it highly recommended for newly sodded lawns to help roots establish.

Aeration FAQs
What is lawn aeration?
Lawn aeration is the process of increasing the amount of air, water and nutrients that infiltrate the soil and reach the lawn roots.
How do I know if my lawn needs aeration?
Your lawn shows signs of poor water absorption or thin grass. Aeration is also beneficial if you have areas that receive heavy traffic, recently had construction work done, or have recently sodded your lawn.
When is the best time to aerate a lawn?
The best time to aerate a lawn in Minnesota and Wisconsin is in the fall. Aeration in the spring, increases the number of weeds in the lawn and recovery is often slower due to cooler soils. During the fall, there are fewer weeds and lawns typically recover more quickly.
How often should I aerate my lawn?
Most lawns benefit from aeration once per year. Lawns with heavy compaction need aeration two or three times per year until the compaction is alleviated.
Which type of aeration is best if I will be overseeding?
If you are overseeding in combination with aeration, then core aeration is the best type of aeration. Liquid aeration will still help when overseeding, but core aeration is best.
What should be done with core aeration plugs?
The plugs left on a lawn after core aeration can be messy. Those plugs should be left on the lawn to break down naturally, because they return valuable nutrients back to the soil. Mowing and watering can help speed up how quickly the plugs go away.
Does aeration help with thatch?
Yes aeration can help break down thatch. By increase water and air infiltration into the soil, aeration can stimulate soil biology populations to naturally break down thatch.
What should I do before and after aeration?
Before aeration we recommend watering a couple of days before the aeration. Do not water the day of the aeration.
After aeration there are no special instructions. Continue normal maintenance best practices to get recovery.
