Equipment for lawn aeration:

- Coring tines or spike tines, to suit the lawn.
What the job involves
Lawn aeration and lawn coring from North Brisbane and Moreton Bay to the Sunshine Coast, to open up compacted soil so water, air and nutrients can reach the roots.
From Aaron:
We offer two kinds of lawn aeration. Core aeration lifts a plug of soil out of the ground so amendments can get into it. Spike tines make holes without lifting soil out, for when you do not want the surface disturbed much.
We run a cam-driven aerator, not the drum type you get from a hire shop.
Before you book lawn aeration in Deception Bay
What lawn coring does
Core aeration takes a plug of soil out of the lawn. Lawn Solutions Australia explains that this makes more space in the soil for the lawn to breathe and take up nutrients, and makes the soil more permeable.
With the plugs out, amendments can get down into the soil instead of sitting on top.
Coring tines or spike tines
Solid spike tines push holes into the lawn without removing any soil. Lawn Solutions Australia recommends core aeration instead when the ground is particularly hard and compacted.
We carry both. Coring suits soil that needs opening up, and spike tines suit a lawn where you want the surface left mostly undisturbed.
Getting a quote
Lawn coring is quoted on the site conditions, including whether it is one big area or a lot of small ones. The total area counts, but it is only part of the price, so every lawn gets its own assessed quote.

Common questions
What is lawn aeration?
Lawn aeration relieves compacted soil, either by punching holes into it or by pulling cores of soil out with a tine aerator. Core aeration, or lawn coring, removes a plug of soil so amendments can get into the ground. Spike tines push holes in without lifting soil out, so the surface is not disturbed as much. We use a cam-driven aerator, not the drum type you get from a hire shop, and we run either coring tines or spike tines.
Why aerate a compacted lawn?
The Queensland Government explains that compacted soil loses the air spaces that water, gases and plant roots need to move through it, and that less rain and irrigation water gets into the ground. Lawn Solutions Australia notes that compaction limits how much water and nutrient reach a lawn's roots, and that coring makes more space in the soil for the lawn to breathe.
What should I do after lawn coring?
Lawn Solutions Australia suggests top dressing with washed river sand straight after coring, because the sand fills the holes and its open, free-draining structure lets air and water through. Coring lifts plugs of soil out so amendments can get into the ground, so it is a good time to put them down.
