What is lawn core aeration and how does it work?

Lawn core aeration is the process of removing plugs of soil from your lawn to relieve compaction and allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. It improves lawn thickness and health.

When is the best time to aerate your lawn in Bannockburn?

The best times for lawn aeration in Bannockburn, IL are in the spring (April–May) and fall (September–October), when grass is actively growing and can heal quickly.

How much does lawn core aeration cost in Bannockburn?

Core aeration typically costs between $100 and $200 in Bannockburn, IL depending on your lawn’s size and access. Bundle with overseeding for additional savings.

Is lawn aeration necessary every year?

Yes. Annual aeration helps prevent soil compaction, reduces thatch, and promotes a healthier lawn—especially in clay-heavy soil common in Bannockburn.

Does Your Lawn Feel Hard or Look Thin? It’s Time for Core Aeration.

If your lawn in Bannockburn feels like concrete under your feet or you’re noticing thinning patches and brown spots, the culprit is likely compacted soil. That’s where core aeration comes in. At Evo Lawn & Landscape, we provide professional lawn aeration services in both spring and fall to help your grass grow thicker, greener, and healthier.

What Is Core Aeration—and Why Your Lawn Needs It

Core aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil to:

Allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone
Relieve soil compaction (common in Bannockburn due to heavy clay)
Break down thatch buildup
Promote deep root growth for a thicker, healthier lawn

Our team uses commercial-grade core aerators—not the flimsy rentals from hardware stores. That means better results, less damage, and a lawn that bounces back fast.
