  • Water cannot seep through compacted soil to reach grass roots, leading to pooling water, poor drainage, and even fungal growth and disease. Aeration helps soil better absorb water so roots stay healthy.

  • With access to water, oxygen, and nutrients, your grass roots will grow strong and healthy as a result of aeration services. Loosened soil will also help the roots grow deeper, which can help them better endure drought conditions.

  • Grass needs nutrients and oxygen for cellular respiration to have energy to grow and thrive. It can’t get these things if the soil is packed too tightly. Aeration loosens soil and makes room for nutrients and oxygen to flow more freely to the roots.

  • Over time, layers of dead grass, known as “thatch,” pile up between roots and grass stems. Thatch can block nutrients and water from reaching the soil. Aeration helps break down thatch so that it can efficiently decompose and support a healthy lawn.

A healthy lawn makes your commercial property more attractive to customers, employees, and members of the public. Over time, foot traffic can compact the soil of your grounds, making it difficult for water, oxygen, and important nutrients to reach the roots of your grass. As a result, your lawn can suffer.

Lawn aeration is a method of creating holes in the soil to alleviate compaction and allow the flow of nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach the roots. At The Grounds Guys, we only perform plug aeration, as we believe this method gives our customers the best results over time. We use a tool called a plug aerator to penetrate the soil and pull out plugs or cores of soil.

In the short term, your lawn will look a little messy after aeration, but within a few weeks, your commercial grounds will be healthier and stronger than before.

If you want unbeatable customer service, localized knowledge, and landscaping expertise, contact your local team at The Grounds Guys. We are happy to quote commercial grass aeration services and offer a full menu of other seasonal services to ensure your grounds always look their best.

    The team from Grounds Guys did an amazing job. They were courteous and cleaned up everything after they finished. They even came back the nex morning to seed around the posts and any area that the lawn got damaged. I will definitely recommend and use them for any future projects.

  • White speech bubble with a star in the middle against a green background.

    Great service from The Grounds Guys Barrie. The crew was at our home for four days cleaning beds, edging, moving perennials, reshaping our gardens and finally laying a ton of mulch. Jaclyn and Hailey did most of the work the first couple of days with great care and attention to detail, they worked so diligently to get everything completed to our liking. Very pleasant and knowledgeable, I loved their energy!! The rest of the crew came in the last couple of days for the remainder of cleaning and mulching, I can’t say enough about how pleasant and hard working everyone was. Thank you, you have been the best gardeners we have hired and I am very happy with the end results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your grounds say a lot about your business and can make a strong first impression on visitors. That’s why it’s so important to keep your grass healthy with seasonal services like lawn aeration.

  • It’s important to book aeration services at the right time of year. Ideally, you’ll want to aerate during your lawn’s growing season so your grass recovers more quickly.

    The majority of commercial lawns in Canada use cool-season grasses. That means the best time to aerate is in the early autumn, though it is also possible to aerate in the early spring. At The Grounds Guys, we can assess your commercial property and determine the best time of year to perform aeration services.
