Core Aeration & Fertilizing
Stronger Roots
Alberta's clay-heavy soils pack down fast. Aeration opens them up, and fertilizer feeds the roots when your lawn needs it most.
What We Offer
Treatments that keep your lawn healthy from the roots up.
Core Aeration
We mechanically pull small plugs of soil from the lawn to loosen compaction, so water, oxygen, and fertilizer can reach the roots.
Spring Fertilizer
A high-quality fertilizer application that boosts early-season growth and deepens the green colour.
Fall Fertilizer
A specially formulated application that strengthens roots for winter. It's part of every fall clean-up.
Pair it with a spring clean-up
Power raking clears out dead grass and thatch first, so aeration and fertilizer work harder.
Why Aerate and Fertilize?
Healthy grass starts below the surface.
Most lawns around Morinville and St. Albert sit on clay-heavy soil. Foot traffic, snow load, and heavy spring moisture press it down until water runs off instead of soaking in and roots stay shallow. Core aeration breaks up that compaction so the lawn can take in water, air, and nutrients again.
Timing matters. We aerate at the right time of year to relieve compaction and promote healthy roots, then follow up with fertilizer while the grass can actually use it: in spring to drive early growth, and in fall to strengthen roots before winter.
Aeration and fertilizing work best as part of a full-season plan. Many clients pair them with a spring clean-up, weekly mowing, and a fall clean-up, so one team looks after the lawn from spring to snowfall.
We aerate and fertilize lawns throughout Morinville, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Legal, Sturgeon County, and Parkland County.

When do you aerate and fertilize?
Core aeration and spring fertilizer are done in spring, often alongside a spring clean-up. Fall fertilizer is part of our fall clean-up.
Should I power rake too?
Power raking removes the dead grass and thatch that builds up over winter, so aeration and fertilizer can reach the soil. It's part of our spring clean-up.
