Lawn aeration
Garden Crafters provides core lawn aeration in Wellington, FL. We restore oxygen, water, and nutrient flow to compacted soil for deeper, more resilient St. Augustine turf — essential for high-traffic estates and equestrian properties.
Schedule lawn aerationSandy Wellington soil compacts over time from foot traffic, equipment, pets, and natural settling. Core aeration punches small soil plugs throughout your lawn, creating channels for oxygen, water, and fertilizer to reach the root zone. The result is deeper roots, thicker turf, and a lawn that handles heat, drought, and foot traffic with resilience.
Aeration reduces thatch buildup, improves water infiltration, enhances fertilizer uptake, and promotes deeper root growth. For St. Augustine lawns in Wellington, annual aeration is one of the single most effective health investments you can make.
The best time to aerate St. Augustine lawns in Wellington is during peak growing season: late spring through early summer (May through July). This gives the grass maximum recovery ability after aeration.
We use true core aeration — not spike aeration. Core aeration physically removes soil plugs, creating real channels. Spike aeration just compacts the soil further around the holes — it does not improve soil structure.
