Soil compaction is one of the most common reasons lawns struggle, and the best way to fight it is with core aeration. Merrill Landscape Services offers professional core aeration in Downs, IL to break up compacted soil and allow essential nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach your lawn’s root system. Using specialized equipment, we remove small plugs of soil across your yard, which opens up the ground and promotes stronger, deeper root growth. Aeration is especially helpful in high-traffic areas or heavy clay soils common in Illinois. It’s one of the most beneficial services you can schedule for a thicker, healthier lawn.
Helps roots grow deeper and stronger by improving air and water flow underground.
Nutrients can more easily reach the roots where they’re needed most with core aeration.
Aeration leads to thicker, greener grass with improved resistance to drought and stress.
