Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I aerate my Vancouver lawn?
Once a year is enough for most lawns, and twice a year for high-traffic yards or heavy clay soil. The ideal windows in Vancouver are April–May and September–October, when the grass is actively growing and can heal quickly.
How much does core aeration cost in Vancouver?
Most residential aeration jobs in Metro Vancouver run $150–$350, depending on lawn size and access. Larger properties or combined aeration-plus-overseeding packages typically land in the $300–$600 range.
Why does aeration matter so much on the West Coast?
Vancouver soils are often heavy clay with thick thatch from year-round growth, so compaction and poor drainage are common. Pulling cores lets winter rainfall soak in instead of pooling, and it gives roots the oxygen they need to push deeper.
What's included — and should I overseed at the same time?
We pull 2–3 inch soil plugs across the full lawn and leave them on the surface to break down and top-dress naturally. It's the best time to overseed, because the seed drops straight into the open holes for excellent germination — we usually recommend pairing the two.
Can I use the lawn right after aeration?
Yes, you can walk on it the same day. The soil plugs will break down within 2–3 weeks with regular watering or rainfall, and you'll typically see thicker, greener growth within a month.
