What are the benefits of core aeration?

Core aeration reduces soil compaction, increases airflow, improves water absorption, and promotes thicker, healthier lawn growth.

Is fall the best time to aerate in Mundelein?

Yes. Fall is the best time to aerate in Mundelein because cooler weather and more moisture support deep root growth after core aeration.

Can I do lawn aeration myself?

DIY aeration is possible, but rental equipment is heavy and results are inconsistent. Hiring a professional saves time and gets better results.

Breathe New Life into Your Lawn Before It’s Too Late

Is your grass looking tired, patchy, or just straight-up choking?
If you're in Mundelein, IL, and your lawn feels more like a doormat than a carpet of green — it's time to aerate.

At Evo Lawn & Landscape, we offer professional core aeration services designed to open up your soil, improve airflow, and help your grass roots grow deeper and stronger. No gimmicks — just solid lawn science done the right way.

Why Core Aeration Matters In Mundelein

Mundelein clay-heavy soil gets compacted easily from foot traffic, mowing, pets, and even heavy rainfall. Compacted soil suffocates grass roots, prevents water absorption, and invites weeds.

Core aeration solves that.
We use commercial-grade aerators to pull 2–3" deep plugs from your lawn, creating channels for:

Oxygen to reach the root zone
Water to soak in more effectively
Fertilizer to actually do its job
Grass roots to expand and thrive

What’s Included In Our Core Aeration Service

Professional-grade equipment (not that DIY rental junk)
Optional: Overseeding for improved density (ask about our lawn renovation package)
Optional: Fertilizer applied post-aeration

💡 Pro Tip: Fall is the BEST time to aerate your lawn in Mundelein. Cooler temps + moisture = root explosion.

Common Questions from Mundelein Homeowners

How much does core aeration cost in Mundelein?
Most lawns range from $100+, depending on size and access. Want to add overseeding? We bundle it for extra savings.

Can I rent an aerator and do it myself?
You could… but you’d spend $90–$120, half a day loading and unloading a 300-pound machine, and risk hurting your back.
Hiring us is cheaper than a chiropractor.

Will core aeration really help my lawn?
Yes — especially if your lawn has compacted soil, lots of foot traffic, or brown patches. Aeration encourages thicker, healthier, greener growth.

Do I need to water before or after aeration?
We recommend watering your lawn 1 day before service. After we aerate, water it again to help the soil plugs break down and stimulate root growth.

What Does Core Aeration Do for Your Lawn?

Core aeration improves your lawn by removing small plugs of soil to reduce compaction, increase airflow, and boost nutrient absorption.
It helps grass roots grow deeper, makes fertilizer more effective, and allows water to penetrate the soil better — especially in Mundelein’s heavy clay soil.

Want a Thicker Lawn? Pair Aeration with Overseeding

After aeration is the perfect time to overseed.
We can spread premium seed across your lawn, letting it fall into the open holes left behind. This boosts thickness and fills in bare patches naturally — no sod needed.
