Aeration in Fishers, IN

Most Pendleton lawns need aeration because the local silt loam soil compacts under foot traffic, mowing, and dry summer conditions. Compacted soil stops roots from absorbing water and nutrients properly.

We use core aeration, which pulls small plugs of soil from the ground to open up the root zone. This method works better than spike aeration on the compaction-prone soils common in Pendleton.

The plugs break down on their own and return organic matter back into the soil. In Pendleton's dry conditions, they typically break apart within a few watering cycles.

Yes, we aerate the full lawn area including front, back, and side yards. Just let us know the layout of your Pendleton property when you call to schedule.
