Aeration
Lawn Aeration

Give your grass the foundation it needs to thrive with professional lawn aeration from Wildlands Landscape Construction. Serving Idaho Falls, Rexburg, Rigby, and surrounding Southeast Idaho areas, we help homeowners and businesses achieve stronger, healthier, and more beautiful lawns through expert core aeration services.

Over time, lawns naturally become compacted from foot traffic, weather, and regular use. Compacted soil prevents oxygen, water, and essential nutrients from reaching the grass roots—causing weak growth and thinning patches. Our aeration process removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction, allowing your lawn to breathe, absorb water more efficiently, and grow deeper, stronger roots.

Whether you’re preparing your lawn for spring growth or restoring health after a busy summer, aeration is one of the best ways to rejuvenate your turf. It improves water drainage, reduces thatch buildup, and enhances fertilizer effectiveness—leading to thicker, greener grass that’s better able to handle heat, drought, and heavy use.

At Wildlands, we use professional-grade aeration equipment designed to treat lawns of all sizes, from small residential yards to large commercial properties. Our experienced team carefully times each aeration service for maximum effectiveness, ensuring your lawn gets the oxygen and nutrients it needs at the ideal point in the growing season.

We make it easy to keep your property looking its best without the hassle. Pair our aeration service with fertilization, lawn mowing, or seasonal cleanups for a complete yard care plan that keeps your outdoor space healthy and beautiful year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lawn aeration involves creating small holes in the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. This helps reduce soil compaction, encourages deeper root growth, and leads to a healthier, greener lawn.
The best time to aerate most lawns in Southeast Idaho is in the spring or early fall. These seasons allow grass to recover quickly and take full advantage of improved water and nutrient absorption.
Most lawns benefit from aeration once per year. Lawns with heavy foot traffic, clay soil, or signs of compaction may benefit from more frequent aeration.
