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 North Lakes
After coring
Lawn Solutions Australia suggests top dressing with washed river sand once the lawn has been cored. The sand fills the holes, and its open, free-draining structure lets air and water keep moving through.
What compaction does to a lawn
The Queensland Government describes compacted soil as having lost the air spaces that water, gases and plant roots move through, so less rain and irrigation water gets in. Lawn Solutions Australia adds that compaction limits how much water and nutrient reach a lawn's roots.
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.
Send photos of the lawn through the quote form, with the suburb and how wide the access is. You get a same-day response.
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.
Should I choose coring tines or spike tines?
It depends on the lawn. Spike tines do not remove any soil, and Lawn Solutions Australia recommends core aeration where the ground is particularly hard and compacted. We offer both: coring when the soil needs opening up, and spike tines when you do not want the surface disturbed much.
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.
