How it works

  1. 1

    We pull cores

    The machine pulls plugs of soil so air, water, and nutrients reach the roots through our heavy clay.

  2. 2

    We feed it

    We follow with the right fertilizer for the time of year so the lawn uses the openings we just made.

  3. 3

    You water it in

    We tell you exactly how to water for the next couple of weeks so the lawn fills in thick.

What this means on the Front Range

If you do one thing for a Front Range lawn, aerate it. Our soil is heavy clay that compacts down and locks the roots out from air and water, and core aeration pulls plugs to open that soil back up. There are two windows that work: early spring, from the end of March to early May, and fall, from August to mid-October. Fall is the highest-impact one, because cool-season grass like Kentucky bluegrass recovers and thickens before winter.

Pairing aeration with the right fertilizer is what turns a thin, struggling lawn into a thick one. We tell you how to water afterward so the work actually takes.

Real reviews from homeowners we work for across the south metro.

★★★★★ 5 stars
We had a great experience with Landmark. They were quick to respond with a reasonable quote, and the work was scheduled for the very next week. The team did a full spring cleanup and added fresh mulch to the garden beds front and back. Professional, efficient, and they left our yard looking fantastic. We will definitely keep using them.

Questions about this service

When is the best time to aerate a lawn in Colorado?

There are two windows. Early spring, from the end of March to early May, wakes the lawn up and opens the soil for the growing season. Fall, from August to mid-October, is the highest-impact window because the cool-season grass recovers and fills in before winter. We book both.

Why does my Littleton lawn need aeration?

Front Range soil is heavy clay that compacts hard, especially in high-traffic areas. Compacted soil chokes the roots. Pulling cores opens it up so water and fertilizer actually reach the grass instead of running off.
