Over time, the rich Midwestern soil beneath your lawn can become compacted, especially in high-traffic areas or after wet seasons. That’s where core aeration in Monticello, IL comes in. Merrill Landscape Services uses professional equipment to remove small plugs of soil, creating pathways for air, water, and nutrients to reach deep into the root zone. This not only relieves compaction but helps your grass roots grow deeper and stronger, setting your lawn up for healthier growth and better resilience.
Helps roots spread deeper into the soil, leading to a thicker, more drought-resistant lawn.
Allows fertilizer, oxygen, and water to reach where they’re needed most—down at the roots.
Reduces thatch buildup and soil compaction, restoring a more breathable and balanced lawn ecosystem.
Merrill Landscape Services is an exceptional company! I have been very pleased with their work every time. The estimate was spot on and they finished my landscape projects right on time. Again, it’s an exceptional business and I would highly recommend.
